FOLLOWERS

Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I went to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, [there] you may be also.” John 14:1-3. Readers, when was the last time that you read about Jesus’ plan to return and bring us back with Him to heaven? How would you feel when you hear that? Would you not be excited? I am extremely happy knowing that He would come back to pick me up so that I may live with Him forever. What an honor. I have no words to describe how happy I am when I meet Him. He has watched and taken care of me since I was a baby, throughout my young adult years, and now in my old age. He was always with me. He is always with me. But I don’t always know why He does that when I think of how often I have disappointed Him.
Readers, Jesus said there are many vacant rooms in His Father’s house. And when we think about the millions or billions of Lucifer’s angels who were evicted from heaven there should be plenty of vacant rooms in heaven right now. But where are the qualified tenants?  Jesus said to Thomas, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.John 14:6. Where are the tenants that want to go to heaven through Jesus Christ? The majority of Christians today want to go to heaven through the apostle Paul and other apostles, and not through Jesus. They abolished all of Jesus words and commandments, and follow Paul. Where are the tenants who want to go to heaven through Jesus Christ? Where are the tenants who want to keep the Sabbath holy? Look here. God said, "You shall have no other gods before Me. "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness [of anything] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth [generations] of those who hate Me,” Exodus:20:3-5. Where are the tenants who bow down to Jesus only?  Where are they? Many, if not most of the prospective tenants serve multiple masters, and not Jesus only. Who will be occupying the vacant rooms in heaven? Who? Jesus said, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” John 10:27.
The Apostle Peter said, “The Lord is not slack concerning [His] promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9. Are we one of them?
How soon Jesus will come, therefore, depends on the number of souls who have repented. If all of us follow Jesus, He can come tomorrow, or sooner, to pick us up. Why would God delay His coming when everybody follows Him and not follow Paul, or follow carved images? When we follow Jesus, we become His sheep and He becomes our Shepherd. Jesus said, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.” John 10:27-28. Jesus said He will give eternal life to His sheep who follow HIM. Do we understand what Jesus said? Who are we following now? If we do not understand, don't worry. Why? Because salvation is not for everyone. Salvation is only for those who hear His voice and follow Him. Jesus said, many are called buy few are chosen. Matthew 22:14. Why? Because only those who stay faithful and endure till the end will be saved. Matthew 24:13. Are we faithful to Jesus?
