And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
–John 14:3
Did you know that God has prepared an eternal home for you? If you‘ve accepted Christ as your Savior, you probably do.
Jesus came to earth, died on the cross, and rose again so that you and I might go to heaven, our eternal home.
As He said in John 14:1-3, “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.”
But God also created a spiritual home on earth for you and me—your church.
Jesus said, “And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matt. 16:18). You and I need to know and experience the fellowship of faith in the family of God known as His Church.
Maybe you come from a broken home. Or maybe you have a large extended family. Whatever your personal family is like, you can still find strength, love, and encouragement in your local church.
Find a church home and get involved!
