Psalm 84 is about the joy of worship in the Temple.
The psalmist opens by remarking on its beauty.
Psalm 84:1 (NRSVue) - How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts!
In John 14, Jesus tells His followers that He is the way to the Father.
Jesus reminds them of the Father’s house.
It is a house that has room for many.
Christ reminded His followers that He would prepare a place for them.
John 14:2 (NRSVue) - In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?
That means He has prepared a place for us as well.
Days ago, we celebrated the Resurrection of our Lord.
In His Resurrection we have hope!
We know that death has been conquered!
2 Timothy 1:10 (NRSVue) - but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
We need not live in fear.
We know what tomorrow brings.
We know a dwelling place awaits us.
And we know it will be beautiful.
