All peoples of the earth will find a home there and it isn’t, “a one size fits all” either. The Lord assures us that heaven is a beautiful place with plenty of room for everyone. We will live forever and never die – if we believe Him.
He wants us to believe in Him and to trust that what he says is the truth. We will not be afraid when we walk through the shadows of death one day, because the Lord is with us. The dark, hidden things are not scary for children when their parents are beside them. Jesus realizes this and does not want any of us to be afraid of dying. The unknown is a scary thing for adults too. Dark nights always scares children because they can not see what is hidden in the darkness. When parents put their small children to bed at night, they often reassure them and comfort them, when there is a storm outside and lightening strikes or there are strange noises in the house that scare them. This is ultimately what Jesus wants, for us to come to him and live with him forever in our Father’s kingdom. He said he will come for us: “I will come back again and take you to myself.” When Jesus said, “take you to myself” perhaps he meant he waiting for us with open arms, to embrace us when we finally join him in heaven. Even in death, we do not need to be afraid. Jesus reassures us today, almost like a small child, that everything is going to be ok. You have faith in God have faith also in me.”Ĭan’t you just picture the tenderness with which Jesus spoke these words to his disciples? He knew that these words would be written down for us as well.
