DAILY?READINGS: Nehemiah 5; Haggai 2; Revelation 10
In my fathers house are many mansions;… I go to prepare a place for you. John 14:2
If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him and make our abode with him. John 14:23
The word mansion is actually the word “abode”. The same word is translated “abode” in verse 23. Thus it becomes wonderfully clear that if we keep His words we can share an abode with God this side of heaven. Jesus says that the motivation for keeping His words is loving Him. If we meditate on what He has done for us, loving Him should come easy. Do you love Him and keep His words? Then you know His abiding. —Ken Gross
Happy still in God confiding, fruitful, if in Christ abiding,
Holy through the Spirit’s guiding, all must be well. —M. Peters
