Matthew 26:29
“I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the
vine from now on until that day when I drink
it anew with you in My Father’s kingdom.”
Where is your favorite place to be? I know mine. My son has a formal dining room with a large round table. When our whole family gathers there, we share a meal, but more than that, we share one another. The food is good, but the fellowship is better.
As I think about it, I realize I have not really answered the question of where. I have answered the question of with whom. That is what Jesus was doing in this verse. He was looking beyond the moment to another table, another gathering, another shared joy. What touches my heart is not the location He hints at, but the promise of being together.
Heaven is not just about where we will be. It is about who we will be with. That will be my favorite table and my favorite place.
I’m Lonnie Davis, and these are thoughts worth thinking.
Suggested prayer thought: Lord, thank You that my future is not just a place, but a promise of being with You forever.
