Seeing homeless and
exposed people sleeping in parks,
cemeteries, abandoned buildings and other
public places reminds us of the people’s
great need for houses today. Shelter is
a basic need of human kind and it is worthy
to be given consideration so people may be
protected from dangerous elements. Every
family from all levels of society may have
their own dreamed house, but who is really
interested of the many mansions in heaven?
The Lord Jesus Christ
is not only aware of man’s physical needs
like corruptible houses made by men’s hands,
but most of all, of the spiritual needs of
human race.
In Matthew 6:33, it is
written, But seek ye first the kingdom of
God, and his righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto you. (KJV)
This important passage helps man to
understand the value of priorities and warns
him not to ignore his spiritual needs in
life. Misplaced priorities threaten one’s
spiritual survival.
Salvation is the
principal need of mankind that should not be
overlooked. In Hebrews 2:3, it is written,
How shall we escape, if we neglect so
great salvation; which at the first began to
be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed
unto us by them that heard him; (KJV)
A saved person can
truly enjoy God’s countless blessings in
many forms including the promised mansions
in our Father’s house.
(I) The Certainty Of the
Mansions
John 14:1, 2
-Jesus spoke about it
In my Father’s house are many
mansions…
-Jesus never lies
…if it were not so, I would
have told
you…
-Jesus is the Truth
…I am the way, the truth…
(II) Assured Place For
Believers
John 14:3 I Thessalonians
4:16-18
-Future place of the
believers
…a place for you.
-A perfect place to live
…where I am, there ye may be
also.
-Prepared by the Lord Jesus
Christ
…I go to prepare…
Heaven is a prepared
place for prepared people. In John 14:6, it
is written, Jesus saith unto him, I am
the way, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but by me. (KJV)
Without Christ, it is impossible for a man
to go to the Father.
Jesus came into the
world to bless us with His great salvation.
As we appreciate His loving-kindness, we
must not forget also to share our blessings
to others. The best way to share God’s
blessings is by proclaiming the Gospel of
Christ to the unsaved people.
