Bible Passage for 1/15/07 Week

Here is the Scripture passage that I am memorizing for this week:

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye 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 unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” John 14:1-3

I have heard these verses read at funeral services many times, and have also seen them written in sympathy cards. However, I don’t think that they are just applicable at times of grief. We can feel troubled during many situations during our lives and need comforting. What could possibly be more comforting than knowing that our Lord is preparing a place for us with him in heaven? Believers are going to spend eternity in heaven with Christ our Lord! No matter what we are facing during our earthly lives, we have that to look forward to!
