Reserved in Your Name

~~~ Acts of the Apostles 13:26-33 ~~~ Psalm 2 ~~~

~~~ John 14:1-6 ~~~ 

Do not let your hearts be troubled. 

There are times in our personal lives when

 our hearts are very troubled.

When was the last time your heart was troubled?

For those in our community it may be today 

as they clean up after the flooding of their homes.

If you lost everything this week your 

heart may be very troubled

The apostles were troubled because 

they did not know where Jesus was going

 or how they would find their way.

They were used to following him per his own invitation.

Come follow me.

I am the way and the truth and the life. 

Jesus assures all of those who are troubled

 that he is the way out.

He is pure truth in all that he is for all eternity.

He is everything...he is our life itself.

We need not be stuck in a state of trouble.

Jesus  provides for all of our needs.

He will bring people to us in our time of need.

He will use us for his own good.

We are given the way...

We are given the truth...

We are given life.

Jesus went before us to heaven

to prepare a magnificent place for us.

I am going to prepare a place for you

Jesus says 'I come to serve not to be served'

Jesus gave us evidence of this promise.

His whole life was in service...

this continues even into his heavenly home.

He prepares a place in heaven for you and for me.

He has a reservation made in your name.

He shows us the way...

make sure you make it to your reserved room.

Jesus assures us that we know 

the way because we know him.

Do not let your hearts be troubled.

We are Blessed in staying on the path

created for us by Jesus.

Your room is reserved by Jesus.

He waits for your return.

~~~ Peace ~~~
