WATCHING,
LOOKING
READY!
John 14.1 - 3
Jesus was giving His disciples
something to hold on to.
He knew what lay ahead.
He had been telling them,
They were not focusing on His coming
again,
They could not bring themselves to
any further than
"I am going away"
LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED;
NEITHER LET IT BE AFRAID,
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,
YOU MAY BE ALSO.
John 14.1 - 3
We are to watch
to look !
to be ready !
He is coming !
He will keep His Promise !
Marriage in the Jewish culture was
a picture that Jesus was here describing.
Even as a man and woman were
BETROTHED
and
PROMISED
Legally they were Man and Wife.
The Bridegroom would then
tell his Bride, I am going to my Father's house,
and will get ready a place for you,
Than, he would leave.
While she waited for him to return,
she got ready everything she needed
to GO WITH THE BRIDEGROOM upon
his return.
While she waited for him,
the Bridegroom was at the Father's house,
making a "place" ready for his Bride.
One day, the Father would say,
You have done enough. It is ready.
Go get your Bride.
So, in a Jewish marriage,
The Bridegroom would then
go UN-ANNOUNCED
to get the Bride.
Taking her to His Father's House,
they would consummate the
marriage,
and then,
everyone would attend
the
WEDDING BREAKFAST.
We are waiting for Jesus to come.
We are watching for Y'shua to return
UN-ANNOUNCED
To come take the Bride Home
to the Father's House.
COUNT ON IT !
IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN SOON !
OUR TASK IS TO BE READY !
READY ! for His Return !
