Theme For David Jeremiah Devotional 28th May – WITH HIM FOREVER
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
John 14:3
Recommended Reading: Revelation 21:3-7
All human mothers (and fathers, too!) live for nine months with the anticipation, expectation, and excitement of meeting the newest member(s) of their family. (Elephant mothers wait 18 to 22 months!) They stare at ultrasound images; they prepare the nursery; they wonder who the baby will look like. All that anticipation is fulfilled on the day the baby arrives.
While childbirth is an exciting event, it pales in comparison to the anticipation we Christians have about finally meeting Jesus Christ face to face. We have read about Him, prayed to Him, committed our hopes and desires to Him, sought to obey and follow Him faithfully—we have done everything except see Him! But the apostle John says that day is coming: “When He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is” (1 John 3:2). Not only will we meet Jesus, but we will also be like Him (Romans 8:29).
On your most challenging days, remember that a glorious day is coming. You will meet Jesus in person and be with Him forever.
Hope teaches endurance and an eager anticipation of that which will become reality. – Simon J. Kistemaker
