#soap # John 14 ## Title: Jesus Has Secured Your Eternity ## Scripture: (John 14:1-4) “Do not let your hearts be distressed. You believe in God; believe also in me. There are many dwelling places in my Father’s house. Otherwise, I would have told you, because I am going away to make ready a place for you. And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come again and take you to be with me, so that where I am you may be too. And you know the way where I am going.” (NET) ## Observation: What a great blessing this is! I have heard many people try to talk through if Jesus meant this literally or if this was figurative concerning the way of salvation through His death, burial, and resurrection. I think we are missing the point. Jesus is saying that God wants all of us to receive salvation and be with Him in Heaven forever. No one is left out of this opportunity. Anyone who wants to come can receive this salvation. If you have asked Jesus to wash away your sins and serve Him as Lord of your life, your eternity is sealed. No matter what we face in this world and in this life, nothing can change the glory that is waiting for us. ## Application: Take a moment and frame your current situations in the light of eternity. Ultimately, nothing can steal your salvation in Christ. How does that change your day? ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for sealing our eternity in You.
