Jesus has left each of us His own Will to give us the best of Himself.
The Lord’s insight. The Lord has an eternal Will and testament for each of us.
John 13:36. “Where I am going you cannot follow Me now, but you shall follow Me afterward.”
John 14:19. “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.”
Recently I have been preparing my Last Will and Testament for my family. Now, don’t worry. I am in good health, so I am thinking now is the time to express how I want the things of mine to be handled after I am gone. The process has made me realize that Jesus has an eternal Will and Testament for each of us.
In the days leading up to His death, Jesus knew He had to encourage the believers that things would be ok for them. He wanted all believers then and now to know that His death would not be a loss for them but a gain for everyone who believed in Him.
He gave up His life so we could have His life. He let go of His life, but He did not let go of us. So, He wants us to know He would not leave us orphans; He would not leave us without comfort; He would not leave us without hope.
While He lived, Jesus wanted all believers to know He had prepared a way for them to live in eternity with Him. And just like many of us who want to make going on without us easier for those we leave behind, Jesus has ordained a few things that will make it easier for us to keep living to be with Him.
In John 14:3 Jesus tells us that in God’s house there are many mansions. He says He is going to prepare a place for us so that we will have a place to live when we come to Him and the Father. He has prepared a mansion for you.
In John 14:15 Jesus tells us He has left the Holy Spirit with us so that we can be taught about Him and about God. He left each of us a teacher and a helper so that we can learn to walk and live the way He wants us to live.
In John 14:21 Jesus left for us His promise that He will Love us and make Himself known to us. Even though He will no longer walk the earth with us, He tells us He will not be hard for us to find.
In John 14:23 Jesus tells us He will make His home with us. Perhaps the most amazing thing He leaves with us is the promise to make His home at our own life address. Let’s make sure we have room in our inn for Him.
In John 14:27 Jesus knew we would be anxious and worry just like the disciples did before He was crucified. So, He promised to leave us with peace. His type of peace is that which helps us to live strong in the face of uncertainty. His peace will show us to be children of God.
These things and many others, He has left for each of us in His eternal Will and Testament. These are things that belong to every believer because these are the things that Jesus has given us. With my personal Will, I am trying to help my family live with what was mine after I am gone.
With The Lord’s Will, He helps us to live with what is His while He is living. His Will is His way of saying to us He will never let go of us – not for one moment. You have a mansion waiting for you. Where He is now you cannot go but don’t worry. He has come to live with you until you are ready to go live with Him.
