    I recalled Jesus spoke in John 14:2; In the house of my Father are many mansions: if it had not been so, I would have told you. I go and prepare a place for you.

    Over the years, I had no clue what the heavenly abodes were like until I happened saw some visual illustration on YouTube recently. Those stunning graphics appeared so breathtaking. They are completely different from anything on earth; extremely beautiful and magnificent. They made the 5 star hotels, affluent homes, and the royal palaces looked pale in comparison.

    The mansions in heaven may or may not look like that showed in Youtube video. Perhaps, it does give us a general concept that may inspire us about heaven and to look forward to our future home with great anticipation.

    The beauty of heavenly realm may make us stand in awe with mesmerization, but our main focus is Jesus Christ who is far worthy to be our Lord and Savior. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

    • A friend asked me one day “If God and Jesus were not in heaven, would you still want to go”?
      The more I pondered this, the larger the question became. A nice house without love is empty and void. A beautiful city without friendship and fellowship and love is cold and unwelcoming. God and Jesus are what makes heaven such a wonderful place to be, it is not the fancy streets, the mansion on a hill, or the perfect health, it is the love of the Father.
      So, knowing that Jesus and God (Love) will be there, I am excited to go! I don’t know the details of heaven, but I know the character of Love, and I trust Him that when He says that I will like it, I know deep down that I will LOVE it!
        • That’s right, if heaven is an empty place, it would be no different from a ghost town on earth. So desolate and eerily quiet. I think there’s no point to go there. But that’s another story. My previous comment was just a thought of what the heavenly mansions may look like from an architectural perspective; because Jesus mentioned that there are many mansions in His Father’s house.
            • It’s difficult to imagine what a spiritual mansion looks like…this flesh isn’t going to Heaven.

              • Agreed. I think Jesus was just trying to use the things that we know (life here) to help us to understand what we don’t know (life in heaven). We don’t need a mansion, or a bathroom, or a kitchen, or a car, or or or…. Because as you say, “this flesh is not going to Heaven”. I am convinced that it will be amazing and wonderful and comfortable, and fulfilling, and beautiful, I just don’t really know what it will look like. I doubt it will be a mansion like we think of them, with windows and a door – who would dust off the chandelier? LOL Not me! LoL
                • Hi JoeD,

                  Yes, it’s hard to imagine what the heavenly mansions look like. I am sure heaven is a very beautiful place with a lot of love, relationship and fellowship with God and the believers. We can even interact with the angels, too.
