HEBREWS 13:14
"For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to home yet to come."
What do you think of when you hear the expression, there is no place like home? Most of us think of the place we lived as children, or young adults. Those who had to move a lot have more difficulty deciding which house was there home. Some think of a city, state or country as their home. Living in the past with all its memories can be a pleasant thing. We tend to remember the good things that occurred in our lives. In fact your memory like the places themselves have changed over the years and that is why it is also known, that you can not go back to your "home".
It is certain that while you are here on this earth, you will have no permanent home. So even though Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever, our life will not be secured and permanent until we are in Heaven and with the Lord. What we have on earth is not lasting and has no continuity or permanence. Life is fleeting. Your life is limited. Thankfully Jesus provided a saving grace and a plan that not only gives us a new life, but a permanent one. He promises us a mansion that He has prepared for us that will last forever and ever. It is perfect home with no weeping or wailing or gnashing of teeth and it is eternal.
Are you looking up to see that your redemption is drawing nigh? Do you believe God and His Word? Some are fixated on this earth and its possessions. Are you afraid to die because you fear what will come thereafter? The true believer is not afraid of death because they know that to be absent from their body is to be present with the Lord. Are you ready to go to your Heavenly home. THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE YOUR HEAVENLY HOME!
