THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME
“There’s no place like home.” The phrase reflects a deeply
rooted yearning within us to have a place to rest, be, and belong; a place
where we know that we are loved no matter.
Jesus promised His disciples that although He would go away,
He would come back for them. And He would prepare a room for them, a dwelling
place. This place was made possible because of His sacrifice on the cross. They
didn’t need to fear or be worried about their lives, whether on earth or in
heaven.
We can take comfort and assurance from Jesus’s words, for we
believe and trust that He makes a home for us; that He makes His home within us
(see John 14:23); and that He has gone ahead of us to prepare our heavenly
home.
Whatever sort of physical place we live in, we belong with
Jesus, upheld by His love and surrounded in His peace. With Him, there’s no
place like home.
