Topic: My Mansion Above
Text: John 14:1-7
1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
Key Verse: “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” John 14:2
Message
The story was told of a little boy who was traveling alone on a train, and the atmosphere was not interesting for a boy of his age. A woman sitting beside him asked, “Are you tired of the long uninteresting ride?” The boy smiled and said, “I’m a little bit tired, but I don’t mind it much. You see, my father is going to meet me when I get there and that is my greatest joy.” Just like that young boy looked forward to meeting his father at his destination, Christian boys and girls must always desire and look forward to having Jesus meet with them when they arrive at their destination- Heaven! Jesus assures us thus, “I go to prepare a place for you.”

Prayer for today: Come Lord Jesus, we are waiting for You.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
