2 Corinthians 5:1

May 30, 2023    Pastor Josh Lewis

Jesus promised that He was preparing a home for us to live with him, and He was speaking about a real, physical place that we would dwell with Him! Here in Paul's letter, he's using the same metaphor of a house, but instead of referring to a physical location, he's talking about our physical bodies. From Jesus' promise and Paul's words, we learn that Heaven is an eternal, literal place, and we will dwell with Jesus in physical bodies that God has made for us. Heaven will feel like home, but free from pain and suffering we experience in these temporary "tents".   


PRAY: Lord, we long for the day that we will dwell with you in our perfect forever homes--the new bodies that you've prepared for us. Help us not to cling to what is temporary here in this life, but instead to long for our home with you. In Jesus' name, Amen.
