Reference Passage: … John 14:1-4 [NLT] …  USE THIS LINK … 

… Jesus promises His 12 disciples that after He leaves them, He will return for them - and all who believe in Him - to take them (and us) to our heavenly home to live with Him forever.                

Reference Passage: … Philippians 3:20-21 [NLT] …  USE THIS LINK …

My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Winn Collier … AT THIS LINK   wrote about his 5 year old son, in the back seat of the car on the week following Easter asking, “Daddy, … When Jesus brings us back to life, are we going to be really alive—or just alive in our heads?”


Good question from such a young mind, don’t ya think?  And if you believe in the Bible as absolutely true, the answer to the young boy’s question is found in the Scriptures cited above.  So if my fellow Christian readers meditate on these truths and take in the linked song, I know you’ll be uplifted by God’s promises to take home to heaven all who believe on our King Jesus as Lord and Savior; … and to live gloriously and pain free in heaven with our Lord forever.  


And that’s a promise I for one revel in today.  How about you?               


My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … Your promise to bring me home one day to live with Your forever.          

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, …  to prepare ourselves to be with You in heaven, Lord, … living with no sorrow and no pain FOREVER!! …   Amen
