READ: JOHN 14:1-4
In a number of
children’s story books, after telling the fable (fairy tale), or anecdote, they
round up with the phrase, ‘and so they lived happily ever after.’ This phrase
largely exists in literary imagination. But to true believers in Jesus Christ,
it is a reality. In today’s reading, Jesus promised to return for us to be with
Him ‘happily ever after.’ He says, “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I
will come again, and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may be
also” (John 14:3).
Eternity is not mirage but a reality. Every human being has an eternal soul that can never die. Every human being will partake of eternity. Eternity can be linked to a period when times and seasons, days and nights cease to measure the length of life. It can also be compared with one million times one million years in million places. The final answer becomes the first year of eternity. To sinners, eternity could be one long and unending night of sorrow, while the genuinely born again Christians, it is one long and unending glorious day.
When believers get to Heaven, they will fall into different classes: The first class comprises those whose family members are complete at the time of their roll call. The father will be there. The mother will be there. The children will be there. Such a family having satisfied God’s desire for whole family salvation will qualify for first prize. Another class comprises a family where either the father or mother is missing. A third class comprises a family with one or more of the children missing. There will be some families that have 50% of the members missing. Some others may just have only on person in Heaven from the family. There will be several whole families totally absent from heaven.
You will be reunited with every member of your family in Heaven for eternity. You will live, play, eat, worship, reign, and go to picnics together for the rest of eternity. Any family member that misses Heaven will be an eternal loss to you. Many Christians think when we get to Heaven; family members will be totally separated. No. The family you started on earth in imperfection will continue in a perfect and far glorious union there. I have resolved my family must be complete in Heaven. What about you? Yes, we can truly live happily ever after!

MEMORIZE: JOHN
3:36 –He that believes on the Son has everlasting life and he that believes not
the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him.
