Many Mansions
“In My Father’s House are Many Mansions…”
This is a passage of Scripture, in John chapter 14 verse 2, which causes some people to believe that Jesus was offering a place in heaven but, as Mark Buckler now explains, the Lord had something quite different in mind.
The expression “My Father’s house” as used in the gospels always refers to the Temple in Jerusalem. For example, when Jesus visited the Temple as a boy of twelve, his comment to questioning parents was: “Why were you searching for me? … Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?” (Luke 2:49). Or when Jesus cleansed the Temple, he said: “Get these out of here! How dare you turn my Father’s house into a market!” (John 2:16).
Do you need to keep the Sabbath?
Do you need to keep the Sabbath?
With the general decrease in religious belief and as society becomes increasingly secular, there is strong commercial pressure to treat every day of the week equally; shops, bars, places of entertainment are open, and sporting and other events are held now on any day from Sunday to Saturday. These moves are welcomed by some people, who see them as the final sweeping away of hide-bound traditions. But others see the trend as a great threat and an indication of serious moral and religious decline. When there are such strongly held and conflicting views on the subject, how can we determine what response to make?
Does the Bible have anything to say about a "Lord's day"? Is the first, or seventh a special day of the week? Do the Jewish sabbath day laws have any meaning for today's society? Should they be kept by followers of Christ? Where can we turn for answers to the problems that are raised?
