Good News for Pilgrims!
(Don Fortner)
Here is good news for weary, heavy-hearted pilgrims from our homeland in Heaven. Do you have heartaches and troubles too numerous to count? It will do you good to receive some good news from home.
The Lord our God is still on His throne.
Our Savior is still in Heaven, preparing a place for you, representing you, interceding for you.
There are many in Heaven just like you and me already. There is . . .
a fallen David there,
a doubting Thomas there,
an angry Moses there,
a feeble Philip there,
an impetuous Peter there,
and a righteous Lot there.
All are there by grace alone, through the merits of Christ's blood and righteousness.
And, soon, the Lord Jesus Christ will come again to take you there!
John 14:1-3, "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 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."
