Daily Pearls #June 18th | 1 Corinthians 15:49
"And as we have borne the image of the earthly, we must also bring the image of the heavenly." 1 Corinthians 15:49
Where will you be in eternity? This depends solely on your position in relation to Jesus. He who loves Jesus and follows Him as Lamb of God will also reach the target. Your last day here on earth, therefore, will be your first day in eternity with Jesus. What will happen on that day? First the great change. At the time of his death or at the coming of Jesus you move from your earthly house and enter the house of the Father where there are many dwellings. Let us not forget: we live here in our earthly house in readiness awaiting the call that can occur very suddenly. A "deadline" rarely occurs. Therefore, when you suddenly have to leave your earthly home, you will not be "in the street," for Jesus Himself has prepared an abode for you, as long as you follow Him from the heart. He has already gone before us and assures us in His Word: "In My Father's house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you." How wonderful to know: there is an abode prepared for me, promised by the Lord Jesus Himself!
