House of Forgiveness

April 4th, 2010 by chesedkel

“There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?” (John 14:2)

“Yet He was merciful and forgave their sins and did not destroy them all. Many times He held back His anger and did not unleash His fury!” (Psalm 78:38)

Imagine yourself standing in God’s majestic courtyard. It is immense and bordered on all sides by mansions constructed with an architectural ingenuity that no man can ever conceive in his mind. It resembles a cleanly swept park with fruit trees and flowers of every kind. A soft breeze blows into your face, leaving a lingering scent of jasmine and cherry blossoms in its wake.

A nail-scarred hand reaches to you and Jesus speaks, “Let’s take a stroll, shall we?”

You take His hand as He leads you along the gold cobblestone pavements. You hear a humming of a melody from His lips and your heart thumps with joy as your lips itch to join Him in a duet. As both of you walk past people seated on pearl benches, they wave at Him and greet Him with a cheerful ‘Hallelujah!”

Jesus leads you to one of the mansions and shows you to the doors. It is of a deep mahogany brown with carvings of intricate twirls of grapevines and flowers. Set in the middle of it is a gold plate with your name engraved in it.

You begin to wonder why Jesus would present such a wondrous gift to you; how He loves you with a passion of infinitesimal love. As if reading your thoughts, Jesus speaks, saying, “All of your sins are remembered no more. I died on the cross to atone for them. I rose from my tomb to hold your hand. Just when I had forgiven you, I built a house for you in my heart.”

Jesus had been despised and rejected when He worked to touch lives with the love of God. His tenderness was taken for granted as people spat on Him and turned their backs against Him. His heart was weighed down with a millstone called grief. Curses and obscenities were flung at Him like black vitriol, yet He pauses to listen when a prayer was spoken. Whips and nails bit into His flesh like hounds, yet He stooped down to heal the sick surrendered at His feet. Shame clothed Him when He was raised on the crucifix, yet He clothed a friend with His love and pride as He raised him up in the crook of His arm. Because Jesus bore our sins and trudged through a slew of relentless persecution, it is possible for us to be counted righteous together with Him (Isaiah 23:11).

“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” (Luke 23:34)

 Forgiveness is like giving away a room in your heart. When Jesus forgives you for all your wrongdoings, nasty words, and even your reluctance to seek Him, He creates a special place in His heart for you. There is no space for brimstone-and-hellfire wrath as He fills this room with tender thoughts about you. He has sealed the privilege for your name to take its place in His heart. The best thing is this: the place He prepared is a permanent residence for you.

 PS: All physical descriptions of The Courtyard are a work of the author’s imagination.
