What does “home” look like to you?
Home may or may not be the place where you sleep. Home may or may not be where your family lives.
But, HOME is definitely where your love resides. Home is the place where you are most real. At home, you cannot hide any part of yourself, you don’t want to, because you are loved for exactly who you are. Home is a place where you are in complete comfort; where you find complete acceptance. Home is a place of unconditional love.
Does this place sound familiar?
Are you still looking for home?
Jesus is offering you that place. A home …with Him…in Him.
In the King James translation of our scripture lesson today, Jesus says, “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. (John 15:9-10).
The word abide is an old fashioned word that means to remain or to stay. Jesus is telling His disciples (and all of us) that He loves us with the love of God, and He is calling us to abide or to stay in that love.
Jesus is calling us not merely to follow Him, but also to live in His love, intimately; to be perfectly connected to Christ – at home.
Do you hear Him calling you today?
