Heaven
John 14 contains all the reminders we need. It holds
comfort, guidance, truth and the promise of salvation in the words of Jesus.
Jesus Comforts His Disciples
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust
also in me. In my house there are many rooms; if it were not so I would have
told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare
a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you may be
where I am.”
Jesus the Way to The Father
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to
the Father except through me.”
Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
“If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father
will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.”
“The Counselor, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in
my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have
said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.”
“I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts
be troubled and do not be afraid.”
“You heard me say I am going away and am coming back to you.
If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the
Father is greater than I. I have told you now before it happens, so that when
it does happen you will believe.”
Each of these verses deserves a separate blog entry, for the
power within them is immense. They do however, speak for themselves. I feel
honored to be able to share so many powerful words of Jesus on one page.
Recently I attended the funeral of a friend's mother. The experiences reminded me of the grief I felt when I lost
my parents, brother, and oldest son. Though the sorrow was at times
overwhelming, I felt a peace knowing they were resting in the arms of God. I
long for others to feel that sense of love and peace that comes only from
knowing of, and trusting in these promises of the Lord delivered through Jesus.
