Be At Home

Something I hear often from my Grands is, "MomC, come see ..." They want to show me something new or exciting! As Jesus began His public ministry on earth, two of John's disciples followed Him and ask, "Teacher, where are you staying?" Jesus answered, "Come, and you will see." (John 1:38-39). Jesus didn't offer an address or directions; rather, He invited them to come and see for themselves, to take full advantage of the opportunity at hand. We know from Scripture there was no place Jesus called "home" (Luke 9:58), however, doesn't the Believing heart find its home where Jesus is! Oh, the souls who have wandered (and wander still) from place-to-place in search of that place of peace and rest, ever in pursuit of joy and contentment. "For freedom Christ has set us free" (Galatians 5:1) - in submission to Him, the heart finds freedom and its home. "Oh, taste and see that The Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!" (Psalm 34:8). The heart will forever be homesick unless it accepts Jesus' invitation to "come ...see." Give your heart a rest - in Christ ... be at home.
