1Peter 3:18 NLT Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God, He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the spirit.
When our families have visited us and it comes time for them to leave, we all love to receive the message, “We’re safely home”. Somehow we just seem to relax knowing their journey is over and all is well.😊
There’s a verse I love in Isaiah 3:10 “Tell the godly all will be well for them” and if anything has happened that’s upsetting or looks impossible, I like to quote this verse to myself over and over again. In fact we have it pinned up in our house as a constant reminder to put our trust in God that all will be well.
The ultimate ‘safely home’ is when the Lord Jesus will meet us when we pass from this life into the eternal home He has prepared for each one of us. It’s for those who are trusting in His great sacrifice when He died in our place and rose again from the dead. What a day that will be. Safely home!
He’s going ahead into our day, into our futures and He has good plans to show us, as we stay close to Him. He leads us in paths of righteousness, beside still waters, with some green pastures along the way - and that is in this life!(Psalm 23) Those are His words not mine, but He also reminds us that we have to be following Him.
There have been times when I’ve wanted to be running out in front, or wandering off the path, or dilly dallying along the way, and so He has to keep checking I’m still listening for His voice, still following, and not being distracted. Maybe you’re the same?😊
So let’s believe for all He has promised, knowing all will be well for the godly when He brings us safely home. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
