When You DieSample

At the last supper, Jesus predicted Judas’ betrayal and Peter’s denial and then John records Him saying, “do not let your hearts be troubled.” As He is preparing His disciples for what will come on the cross, He is also giving them hope and reassurance as He talks to them about the end of their own lives. And as He talks about heave, Jesus describes it as a home. Think of some characteristics of your home on earth that make it appealing to you and then try to imagine what a home in heaven might be like! It will be beyond any of our imaginings, yet we can know for certain it will be a forever home of peace in the presence of Jesus Christ.

-Why is it important for you to know this?

Pause to Pray:

Jesus, thank you for preparing a place for me, and for all of your people. As I read what your word says about heaven over the next several days, fill my heart with hope and anticipation rather than fear or dread…
