2-15-07 A Prepared Place "John 14:1-6"

Memory Verse: John 14:2: In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

Dr. Charles E. Fuller received the following letter from a listener to "The Old Fashioned Revival Hour."

"Next Sunday you are to talk about Heaven. I am interested in that land, because I have held a clear title to a bit of property there for over fifty-five years. I did no buy it. It was given to me without money and without price. But the donor purchased it for me at tremendous sacrifice . . . It is not a vacant lot. For more than half a century I have been sending materials out of which the greatest architect and builder of the universe has been building a home for me, which will never need to be remodeled nor repaired because it will suit me perfectly, individually, and will never grow old.

"Termites can never undermine its foundations for they rest upon the Rock of ages. Fire cannot destroy it. Floods cannot wash it away.

"I hope to hear your sermon . . . but I have no assurance that I shall be able to do so. My ticket to Heaven has no date marked for the journey -- no return coupon -- and no permit for baggage.
"Yes, I am ready to go, and I may not be here while you are talking next Sunday evening, but I shall meet you there some day."

Fuller's correspondent is but one of millions who have looked forward to arriving at that prepared place called heaven. The One who formed the earth, the heavens and all that are in them in six days, have been preparing places for His bride for nearly two thousand years.

Are you prepared for heaven?
If so, heaven is prepared for you!
