Daily Bible Nugget #862, John 14:3

The Nugget:

Joh 14:3  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

From Ken Sagely’s Facebook Post:

THE LORD’S COMING

JOHN 14.3

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

ACTS 1.11

Which also said, ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like  manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

1 THESSALONIANS 4.16-17

For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

TITUS 2.13-14

Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and  our Savior Jesus Christ:

14

Who gave himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

1 JOHN 2.28

And now, little children, abide in him that, when he shall appear, we may  confidence, and not be ashamed before him at His Coming

PHILIPPIANS 3.20

For our citizenship is in heaven: from whence also we look for the Savior, the  Lord Jesus Christ.

COME THOU FOUNT OF EVERY BLESSING

Come Thou Fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace,

Steams of mercy. never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above:
Praise His name I’m fixed upon it
Name of God’s redeeming love.

PSALM 117.1-2

O PRAISE the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. For His merciful  kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever: Praise ye the LORD
