Certain Words That Comfort Us
There are words found in the English language which actively suggest warmth, those words are mother, father, home, and heaven. The word heaven is found 284 times in the Greek New Testament. Jesus taught the reality and beauty of heaven when he said, "Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad; for great is your reward in heaven…" (Matthew 5:12).
Jesus wanted to bring comfort to his disciples by telling them, "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. 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 14:2-3). The great thing about being a Christian is that we have heaven as our inheritance. "To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you," (I Peter 1:4).
Brethren, as we grow in the faith we come to understand that our real treasures are not on this earth (Matthew 6:19). All that pertains to this earth is perishable and uncertain. Hear Jesus’ words: "But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" (vss. 20, 21). Remember Peter's descriptive terms regarding heaven, "incorruptible," "undefiled," and "does not fade away." Think about it, HEAVEN what a word of comfort that all Christians can be a part of, if we continue to live and die in Christ. Let each of us strive to not only read about heaven, but come to truly experience it. Ernie
