“I go to prepare a place for you!”
The following is from Spurgeon’s sermon,
“Jesus Affirmed to Be Alive” #2016. Acts 25:18-19
That pierced hand has taken hold of eternal bliss on the behalf of those
for whom He shed His blood.
Jesus is now in Heaven making preparation for our coming. What has to be done to make
Heaven ready I am sure I do not know, though I have often tried to guess.
Jesus says, “I go to prepare a place for you!”
Heaven, when we get there, will prove to be the perfect place for us. It has taken Jesus all
these years to make it ready for us. He that with a word made earth fit for created man,
did not with a word make Heaven fit for His children, but went to Heaven Himself to see
everything set in order for them.
I think I hear Him say, “This will not do for My Beloved. There is something more needed. These fruits are not quite mellow enough, these flowers are not full bloom enough for My Beloved, whom I desire to entertain to the utmost of their capacity.”
Jesus now lives to keep Heaven for us and make it in all respects ready for us.
“I go to prepare a place for you!”
