In my Father's House there are many Mansion there

Acts 13:26-33, Jn 14:1-6. In today's first reading, Paul directly addresses the situation of his hearers by turning from the written words of the Scripture to active words of the living God. Everything in the Scripture, he maintains, can be read in the light of Jesus who gives the content of the Scripture their full meaning. Jesus explains this in His farewell speech shortly before He was handed over to be crucified. Preceded by the Last super encounter, He begins with a plea; asking them to believe in Him just as they believed in God. He also enjoins them to be people of faith. They were enwrapped with the feeling of abandonment, from the background that their expectation of Him was about to be shattered. This becomes clearer with His second step: offering them residence in Heaven. He focuses on the ultimate home where each one of us long to end up.

The Lord teaches us that focusing on our purpose in life restores inner strength and hope. We are in the world but not of the world. Heaven is our true, lasting home and we are invited to order our lives as citizens of Heaven: let the belief in eternal reunion with Jesus in Heaven dictate our daily life style. Just as there are many mansions in the Father’s house, so the ways that lead to those mansions are varied. The only absolute guideline Jesus gives about staying on the track with Him is always couched in terms of love, that agapé which was the hallmark of the life of Jesus on earth.

May the Lord reveal His presence in our work and may we do everything for His glory and for the sanctification of our world! Amen!! Good morning, it is well!!!
