THE K I N G ’ S B U S I N E S S just look right up into His face all the time. There will not be any night there and oh my, how happy you boys and girls will-be, for you know how hard it is for mother to get you to go to bed at night. You will never be tired there so you will not have to sleep.

Now Jesus told the disciples that in this beautiful place there were many mansions, or homes, and that he was going back to heaven to get one of these homes ready for each one of them. These are the very words Jesus spoke to His disciples. Let us say them over and over until we will know them so well we will never forget them. “In my Father’s house are many man sions. . . .

for you.” The people who have a home up there will never come and find the house burned down like those people’s home I saw a few days ago, will they? No, everything will be perfect and lovely up there, for there will be no sin in heaven, and it is sin that causes all the trouble and wrong in the world. Now I wonder how many of you have already told Jesus you want Him to get a home ready for you? The way we ask Jesus to get a home ready for us is to love Him and give ourselves to Jesus, and when we give ourselves to Him, then we will do the things He wants us to do. Closing Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, we thank thee for making such a wonder ful place for all that love thee, and help us to love thee every day. (A good decision lesson for the older boys and girls of Primary age.)
