David Jeremiah Daily Devotionals June 23 2022:
In My Father’s house are many mansions.
John 14:2
Recommended Reading: John 14:1-6
Do you need to get away for a day or two of rest at a nice hotel? Try the Empathy Suite at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. It’s located on the thirty-fourth floor with two master bedrooms, stunning views, original works of art, 24-hour butler service, and a gym. At $100,000 per night (with a two-night minimum), it’s the most expensive hotel room in the world.[1]
Can’t afford it? If we can’t afford one night in a hotel in Las Vegas, how can we ever afford an eternal stay in the mansions of heaven?
By our own merits and righteousness, we cannot claim a single, solitary second in New Jerusalem—the city that truly glitters with glory. The cost of a place there is beyond anyone’s ability to pay, except for One—the Lord Jesus Christ, who shed His blood to secure your reservation.
Oh, how wonderful! Oh, how marvelous! We could never earn our way to heaven, but Christ’s death and resurrection made a way for us. Don’t miss it! Place your full faith in Christ today.
Las Vegas is a counterfeit version of the New Jerusalem. And it shares something of the glorious reality that it mocks.
Richard J. Mouw.
