God has prepared a great eternal
future for His redeemed children. The Lord Jesus Christ has also prepared a
mansion in heaven for His faithful disciples. He is, even now, preparing for us
that glorious place. One day, it will be fully prepared, and we shall see it
when He brings it down from heaven, as John did in his great vision. “And I
John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” But that is not all. “Eye hath
not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things
which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
BY HENRY M. MORRIS, PH.D.
“Then shall the King say unto them on
his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for
you from the foundation of the world.” -
(Matthew 25:34)
In context, this wonderful promise may apply
specifically to those living believers recognized as “sheep” by Christ
when He returns to judge the nations (or “Gentiles”) at the end of the age.
For them He has prepared a wonderful kingdom in which
they can fully serve their great King here on Earth.
The “goats,” on the other hand,
will be sent away into “everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his
angels” (Matthew 25:41).
But we remember also that the Lord Jesus Christ has
also prepared a mansion in heaven for His faithful disciples.
“In my Father’s house are many mansions . . . I go to prepare a place for you” - (John 14:2).
He is, even now, preparing for us that glorious place.
One day, it will be fully prepared, and we shall see
it when He brings it down from heaven, as John did in his great vision.
“And I John saw the holy city, new
Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for
her husband” - (Revelation 21:2).
It will, indeed, be a wonderful place of “many
mansions,” and John describes some of its beauties in the Bible’s last two
chapters.
But that is not all.
“Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared
for them that love him” - (1 Corinthians 2:9).
Therefore, we can say with Paul: “For
I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared
with the glory which shall be revealed in us” (Romans 8:18).
He has indeed prepared a great eternal future for His redeemed children.
The Institute for Creation Research (ICR) wants people to know that God’s Word can be
trusted in everything it speaks about—from how and why we were made, to how the
universe was formed, to how we can know God and receive all He has planned for
us.
After 50 years of ministry, ICR remains a
leader in scientific research within the context of biblical creation. Founded
by Dr. Henry Morris in 1970, ICR exists to conduct scientific research within
the realms of origins and Earth history, and then to educate the public both
formally and informally through professional training programs, through
conferences and seminars around the country, and through books, magazines, and
media presentations.
