Choose the Right Destination

“In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.” (John 14:2)
Scripture Focus: John 14:1-6

What destination would you choose if you could travel anywhere in the world? The Holy Land? Hawaii? Alaska? Mexico? Italy? Japan? Australia? The Caribbean? Somewhere else?

Here’s a much more important question. What destination would you choose if you could travel out of this world, far beyond the most remote reaches of space?

The question may seem preposterous, but it isn’t. When life ends, each of us will journey out of this world to an eternal destination. Jesus promised He would prepare a place for His followers in Heaven, which He called His “Father’s house.” This highly descriptive term for Heaven connotes comfort, protection, security, peace, provision, and a family atmosphere.

There is only one way to get to the Father’s house. Each of us must choose to go there by trusting in Jesus. He said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).

Insight: Where you will spend next year’s vacation is not nearly as important as where you will spend eternity. Be sure to choose your destination wisely.
