A Godly Home

-->

Deut. 6:6, 7 And these words, which I command you this day, shall be in your heart…And you will teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you’re sitting in your house, and when you’re walking by the way, and when you’re laying down, and when you’re rising up.

Saturating your kids with the presences of God. A Christian home is created when Christ fills the home with His presence. The home is God’s sanctuary, He is not only the head of the church, but He also becomes the head of the home. My home is my castle, and I have been given charge to follow the commandment of God within the home. The first rule of business is to have a home that loves God 1st and put God at the head of every conversation and action. We honor Him by teaching our children His word, making  prayer in the home a natural occurrence. A good Christian home is not really known by the rules it keeps, but by the love it manifest. This does not mean that sin in the home is allowed to flourish, but love, grace, and mercy are the banners that hang on the walls of the home.

My Father's House

John 14:2  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.

This world is not my home, am only passing through. In my Father’s house, Jesus has gone to prepare us a home. Mansions that will blow us away. Many songs have been written about these mansions that Jesus is preparing for us in heaven. They say that, “home is where the heart is”. That the physical structure is not what is important about heaven, yet it was important enough for Jesus to mention that there will be a dwelling place when we get there. We all look forward with anticipation to someday enter our Father’s house. As wonderful as this is, the true joy is knowing that Jesus will be there. He will be what makes heaven home. That is where the heart is, to be with Him and see him face to face. This world will is full of troubles, but Jesus has made it possible for each of us to be trouble free. He invites us through the cross to give our lives to Him, forsake the temporal things of this world. hold loosely to this earthly home, and keep our eye set on our Father’s home.

See You Later

John 14:3 And 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.

The accession of Christ was not a goodbye, but a “see you later” salutation. The preparation are being made, and whatever they are, it will be good. God does all things good and this place is being prepared by Christ Himself. But, the greatest anticipation is that we will be with Him. The promise was made many years ago, and God keeps His promises. He will come again, and those who have served Him, that remain on earth will be caught up together in the sky to be with Him forever. To be with Jesus is the desire of my heart. I want to live in such a way that I will not be ashamed to be in His presence.
