THE GREATEST EXPECTATION OF JESUS

What is the greatest expectation of Jesus for you? Do you know it at all? Have you ever being informed at any point in your life time?
These're few questions that are rigidly germane to the discuss of this topic and as we go on,all will be made clear.
Without any atom of doubt,I'm pretty sure that some people will give me different answers with scriptural backings on this subject of discussion.Somebody may say that the expectation of Jesus for him/her is to be wealthy,successful,globally-known,winning awards and to be famous etcetera.Obviously,all these ones are part of His expectation for you, for he said that 'Occupy till I come...' And I sincerely want to believe that you want to occupy and subdue as well as accrues wealth to yourself.In fact,Deuteronomy 8:18 says that '..it's God that has given you power to make wealth to fulfil his convenant' Why won't you be wealthy as part of his expectation then?
However,recent study of the book of John 14 vs 3 revealed unto me the greatest expectation of Jesus for us.
The bible passage reads thus '...that where I am,there ye may be also' This bible passage graphically point out that Jesus is in anticipation to take those that believed in Him home and that was why he said that 'I will come again,and receive you unto myself..' that depicts that he is coming for a purpose and his expectation for coming back would be because of you and I so that we'll be where He's.He's pretty sure that the place is comfortable and that's why He wants us have a full taste of the place.To certainly point out to us that He will be expecting us,he never said 'Where I,ll be' but 'where I am' Can you see that?
Now,if he's coming to receive you but unfortunately you're missing,how will you feel? Happy or sad?
The question is that;will you still be standing in faith so as not to miss Him?
Brethren,to drive home this piece,let me use this simple analogy for clarity.Have you ever imagine yourself being made the chairman at a special occasion and your seat specially reserved but unfortunately you weren't able to make it to the program for an handful number of reasons.How do you think people that invited you'll feel?
That's what Jesus was saying in verse 3 of the passage that 'And if I go and prepare a place for you...' That means that the place is meant for you,you're a special guest of honour,He prepared it all for you and it'll be the greatest dissappointment to miss that specially prepared mansion that is reserved for you.
Brethren,endeavour to occupy your place in Heaven at all cost.Jesus in Mark 13:24 says " 'strive' to enter in at the strait gate(the gate that leads to your mansion)..."
It's my sincere prayer that the greatest expectation of Jesus would be fulfilled in your life IJN.And heaven will not be sorrowful because of you.
