Recognizing God

In my father's house, there are many rooms.

In consoling his disciples over his immanent departure, Christ said that he was going ahead to prepare their accommodations. When Christ dwelled among us, he did not receive a grand welcome. But when we get to heaven, everything will be prepared for our coming and Christ himself will be our host.

"In My Father's house, there are many rooms" and none of us who accept Christ's invitation will be turned away unlike Christ himself who was turned away from all inns and had to be born in a manger and who, along with his parents was driven away to Egypt by an unaccommodating political society.

In our Father's House, we will be welcomed by Christ Himself who has gone ahead before us.
