A mother asked her little girl why she liked to go to her grandparents’ house so much. Her reply was, “Because God lives there.” We hear much preaching about getting God back into our churches, but what is really needed is God in our homes. When God is in the home, you can be sure He will go to church with us.
You can’t hide God being in a home, anymore than if a king visited a humble dwelling place. People love a home where Jesus is. Mark tells us, “...and it was noised that he [Jesus] was in the house. And straightway many were gathered together.” It goes on to say there was no room for all who wanted to enter that home. There are some homes where you can literally sense the presence of God.
Jesus loves to go home with people. He went home with Zacchaeus, Matthew, Simon Peter, as well as Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. And He desires to enter our homes also.
As one comes into our home, there is a plaque on the wall that reads, Jesus Christ is permanent resident in our home. I hope he is in yours also. You may have a house you live in, but it will not be a home until God moves in with you.
