Spring Has Sprung

I go to prepare a place for you.
John 14:2b

In one of his hit songs, Frank Sinatra sang merrily, "You make me feel so young; you make me feel like spring has sprung." He was saying that a good romance ages well. "And even when I'm old and gray," he crooned, "I'm gonna feel the way I do today."

A fine romance and a good marriage keep us young. But they also require tending. Romantic husbands figure out how to keep the courtship strong. Have you planned a special evening recently? Arranged for the babysitter? Made reservations at a quiet restaurant? Picked up some flowers? Given a tender hug? Spoken those three special words?

Just as a romantic husband spends time preparing special occasions for his wife, the Lord Jesus is planning something special for His Bride, the Church. When He rose from the dead and ascended to heaven, He wasn't just returning to the throne to be idle. Our Lord is always at work. He promised His disciples He would prepare a place for them. Remembering the eternal life He lovingly promised us is a good way to stay young--to feel that spring has sprung.
