HOMECOMING!

6/25/2014

"While Jesus was blessing them, He left them and was taken up into heaven." Luke 24:51

Homecoming is a happy occasion. We were so excited to see Greg and Patrick as they got off the plane in Fredericton this morning....and they were so excited to be home.....home from Bolivia......to their OTHER home that is!

Can you imagine the joy in heaven when Jesus, Son of God, having completed His work on earth, returned home in triumph. Jesus’ ascension, 40 days after His resurrection, marked His heavenly homecoming.

But Jesus' ascension was more than a homecoming. This event was to have a sequel. Before He left, He promised to return, saying: “If I go to prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with Me that you also may be where I am” (John 14:3). As the old hymn says, "What a day of rejoicing that will be" and "When we all see Jesus, we'll sing and shout the victory!" We will be "home where we belong"!

PRAYER: Thank You, O Lord, for the home we have to live in here on earth and to share with family and friends. And thank You for the eternal home that has been prepared for us by our Savior, Jesus Christ! Amen

What a 'Precious' 'Truth Blog' from a very precious woman!! So happy for you and Alex to have your son and grandson with you for a while!
They both look so 'Joy ~ full' seeing you two!! It's a wonderful image of what we will 'reflect' when we see JESUS Judy!! And for now, what incredible 'Value' we see represented in God's creation, in particular His 'People' creation!! Showers of Blessing to Rain Down Upon you all during this time together!

I can't imagine what that day will be like when I can finally be home where I belong. Thank you Jesus for making a home in heaven possible for me and the whole world. May I reflect on this every day and be thankful. Amen.

How I look forward to that day! To have a perfect body that is not marred with all these problems that cause us such restrictions on this earth. What a glorious day that will be!
