How Moving is Like Going to Heaven

Recently Carolyn and I were able to finish a 10 year project of building a house and moving in. This arduous experience got me thinking about how moving is like going to heaven. At least it seems that way in our experience.

Let me explain.

Jesus said, “In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.” (John 14:2-3 ESV)

These are words of immense encouragement. Jesus was talking about our eternal home, our heavenly home.

This world is not our home—we have a place of incredible joy awaiting us if we know Jesus. One day we will make that wonderful move.
