“Our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively [living] hope…to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you” (1 Peter 1:3-4).
In this world, we sometimes have to make reservations for things like restaurants, hotels, plane flights, etc., and it is important to do this. But have you ever made a reservation and then, when you reached the place, found out that they did not have it? This has happened to me several times. I carefully reserved something, only to find out that someone had either lost it, or forgotten to mark it down. These things happen in this world, for people sometimes make mistakes.
In our verses today, we have an inheritance that is reserved in heaven for us. That does not mean that the inheritance is heaven, but rather that the reservation is up there. Do you think anything can go wrong with a reservation like that? No, for God never makes mistakes, or forgets to do something. That inheritance is for sure, and we will get it.
The inheritance is all created things, and the Lord Jesus is going to receive it, but then He will share it with us. We can look forward to this wonderful reservation!
