My favorite part of the show is when the family comes home, and they're all really eager to see their house. Then they move the bus ("Bus driver, MOVE THAT BUS!") and the family is always astounded at their beautiful new home. Crying, laughing, screaming, jumping, hugging...to see their reactions is very special.
And then Ty says, "Do you want to see what's inside? [Blank] family, go check out your house!" and the whole family races up the sidewalk and goes excitedly through their new front door.
Alright, now this may sound weird, but a while ago I was watching EMHE and I thought about Jesus and how He has gone to prepare a place for us (John 14:2) He went to build the house for His people. An Extreme Makeover house ten thousand times better than any Ty and the team could ever design. So...when He comes back to bring us home, after this 'week' here on earth, will He perhaps say, "Do you want to see what's inside? God's family, go check out your house!"?
So now, whenever I see Ty showing the family their new house, I often think of Jesus and the house He went to prepare.
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.” Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” ~ John 14:1-7
