Where is home for you? Is there a difference between where you sleep and home? I pray that these places are one in the same for you. But I am thinking of home in a deeper sense. Home is that place you are the most comfortable.
I started a new sermon series yesterday dealing with love. John 15:9 says, As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. This word, “remain” carries some deep meaning. Eugene Peterson, in The Message, translates this verse this way: I’ve loved you the way my Father has loved me. Make yourselves at home in my love.
What a beautiful picture of home. Finding complete contentment and security in the love that Jesus has for you!
Maybe you have been betrayed in the past. Maybe you have been burned by someone to whom you had given your heart and love. Jesus reminds us that God’s love is unconditional and limitless and we can rest and take up residence in his love.
Find your home in the love of Jesus today!
