The Grands Letter (John/GLJ)
Gene L. Jeffries, Th.D. on December 11, 2023 5:33 am (CST)Dear Grands,
John 14:1-6, “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.
2 “In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.
3 “If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.
4 “And you know the way where I am going.”
5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?”
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”
My earthly father possessed many gifts. One of the most
memorable was that of poetry. Most of his poems were spiritual
in nature. The one I think I like the best was put to music by my
mother. You are blessed that I cannot sing it for you, but the words will, I trust, be a blessing to your life.
“When the Master went away, He said, “Don’t sorrow.”
I go you mansions to prepare;
I will come again for you some glad tomorrow;
That you may be with Me over there.
“Go, tell the world the sweet old blessed story;
How I bled and died upon a tree.
I conquored death and then went Home to glory;
I paid the price on Calvary.
“Many years have passed since Jesus went to Heaven;
Those disciples are among the blessed;
And I hope some day to reach that lovely haven,
When He says, ‘Come Home unto thy rest.’”
Chorus: “When the Master went away,
He said, “I’ll come again some day;
Be ye faithful ‘till that day shall come;
Keep your lamps all trimmed and bright;
If the Master comes tonight,
Will you hear Him say to you, ‘Well done’”?
(E. H. & Velma Jeffries)
They will both be blessed to know that others have come to
know their Savior through this simple Grands Letter Ministry!
God bless you, especially at this CHRISTmas Season! This
just could be the season He comes again!
Heartily in Christ Jesus,
(Dado III)
