Today is our 12th and final biblical pearl for Season 1 of our Pearls Podcast. How in the world do we finish this season? What is the biblical pearl to leave you with for now? How do we end such a rich and generous season in the Word of God together? How do we get up from the biblical table and live forward into our lives today?

I spent quite a bit of time in prayer thinking through what the 12th pearl would be. What is ONE more thing in the “better than” Story of the Bible that I would want impart to you, bless you and wash you with today? 

In today’s final episode, our biblical pearl is located in John 14: 1-6. These are words in red – the words of Jesus given to his disciples at the Last Supper right before crucifixion and resurrection. It’s about to go down and he knows it. What will some of his final words be at this final meal before the Garden of Gethsemane, arrest, trial, crucifixion and resurrection? 

Today we are going to learn about the beit av – the house of the father. THIS is some of the encouragement Jesus chose to give his disciples in this final meal and final hours. The imagery and metaphor, the deep meaning that these words would have held for Jesus and his disciples 2,000 years ago speaks a WORD to us in our own lives today. The promise that Jesus speaks of in these verses are a right now promise for you and me today. 

No matter what’s going on in your life, now matter how high or low, how deep into sadness, ruin and loss – we are headed to the Father’s House.  

As we end Season 1 of Pearls, I pray these words get worked into your soul like yeast into dough. Shalom to you and your families.
