Let Not Your Hearts Be Troubled
Prepared by Pastor Calvin Cook – January 4, 2024
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.” (John 14:1-4)
In times of uncertainty and turmoil, Jesus offers us a profound reassurance: “Let not your hearts be troubled.” These comforting words invite us to place our trust in Him, acknowledging our need for His presence in our lives. Jesus not only provides solace but also offers a vision of hope and eternal life.
Reflecting on this scripture, we are reminded that Jesus prepares a place for us in His Father’s house, a home with many rooms. This promise underscores the importance of choosing a life centered on faith in Jesus. By believing in Him and following His teachings, we align ourselves with the path to eternal peace and fulfillment.
The assurance of eternity is not just a distant hope but a present reality that can transform our lives today. Knowing that Jesus will come again and take us to be with Him, we are encouraged to live with purpose and joy, free from the burdens of fear and anxiety. Let this promise of a prepared place and Jesus’ return inspire you to deepen your faith, embrace His love, and live a life that reflects His light to the world.
