Jesus Is My Sponsor
Some Christians are sure that they will go to heaven whenever they die physically while some others are not. But a person who is saved has an eternal future for sure! We have a blessed hope, just like Paul had for his life. We must also know that we not just reach heaven but also inherit our Father’s eternal kingdom which has been prepared for us before the creation of the world. (Matthew 25.34).
Whatever be our profession or status on earth, it is not what determines our eternal home.
Many people here don’t have their own home. They either rent out a home and some people even live in slums or on the streets. Huge families sometimes squeeze into a small room and live together. But there is good news for God’s Children.
John 14:1-4 1“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God;believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms (mansions); if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”
During the last Passover supper, Jesus lets us know that we don’t have to worry because in heaven, God is preparing mansions for each of us! There is space for all of us in the Father’s house (the entire heaven) and Jesus is going first to prepare a stay for us! He also promises to come back to take us to be with Him.
This is good news to all the homeless people. Even if the world couldn’t provide for us and we are lacking here, Jesus is preparing an abundant stay for us in heaven. We don’t have to worry about our stay or our travel or food or anything else; Jesus is taking care of it all. He has arranged everything well for us: Jesus says that He will be our Host. We only need to believe in Jesus and in His Father; that is the only condition that we need to fulfil.
For a visa application to be passed for an earthly trip to a foreign country, we must show details about our Host etc. On our trip to Heaven, Jesus is our Sponsor. Our life on earth and in Heaven is sponsored by Jesus Christ. This is our blessed and living hope. This hope because it is living will grow, move and take us along with it.
2 Peter 3:10-13 10“But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. 11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.”
This passage talks about Jesus’ second coming and warns us to be holy and godly as we look forward to our new life.
When we usually read the Book of Revelation and Matthew 24, there is a tendency to focus on the negative side: destruction and the war and the trials. But for a child of God, our focus must be not on this, but on our future in a new heaven and a new earth which is the home of righteousness! Being the bride of Christ, we must prepare by beautifying and purifying ourselves; this must be our only focus.
Where is our focus?
We might be tempted to focus on the negative side but we must not give in to it. Unbelievers focus on antichrist while God’s children focus on Christ and His second coming.
