Jesus said He has gone to Heaven to prepare a place for His children and that He is coming back at the last day to gather up all of His children so that we may live where He lives.

“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. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” (John 14:2-3)

When He comes, He will first call the righteous dead to life. Then, those people who remain alive will be caught up together with them in the air to meet our Lord.

“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever.” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)

However, until He returns, He lives within us to the very end of the world through the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

“Teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20)

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20)

Take advantage of God’s mercy while there is still time.

“Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.” (James 1:12)
