Reservations

My husband and I enjoy dining out, but he does so only under one condition. When I suggest a new restaurant to try, he says, "do they take reservations?" He absolutely hates to wait in line for a place to eat dinner!

We make reservations for a variety of things - renting cars, purchasing air line tickets or making hotel plans. We can do these for ourselves, or we can ask or travel agent to do so. Having reservations is a nice option; our plans are secure in the accommodations we are seeking.

Isn't it reassuring to know that Jesus made a reservation for each of us in heaven? He told is in the Bible that he would go to prepare a place for us (John 14:2,3), and I know he has! We won't have to wait in line or be unsure of the security of our plans.

Our life eternal will be spent with Jesus, in the mansions of heaven, once we ask Him to be our travel agent. He will make those reservations with a happy heart, knowing some more of His children are coming home - you and me, and everyone who has accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior!
