John 14:2 (NKJV)
In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Mansions, rooms — moné in Greek, meaning dwellings or permanent residences.
“The house itself is lasting; our estate in it is not for a term of years, but a perpetuity. Here we are as in an inn; in heaven we shall gain a settlement.” Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1706
I’ll trade my temporary space on earth for a permanent place in heaven.
Good morning, Lord. I’m grateful for my cozy house here on earth and even more grateful for my permanent home in heaven. It would have been enough that You saved me from my sins. Eternity in heaven with You … more than enough! Thank You.
