How do you define home? A residence or a house? They say “home is where the heart is” which gets at something more: where we belong, where we can be honest and real.
In John 15:1-8, Jesus says “live in Me… Make your home in Me…” (MSG) We cannot live separated from the vine. He is the Source. We need to remain connected to Jesus.
There is a Greek word, Meno, that is used throughout scripture. It means to abide, remain, or to make your home with.
Following Jesus could be seen as an act of HOME-MAKING. Jesus prepares a place for us and we make our home with Jesus.
We practice this love among imperfect people. It’s not always easy. It requires love and peace. We have a call to consistency. We do life with Jesus and invite Him into every part of it.
Being together- living WITH Jesus- this is God’s desire for you.
