“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you may be where I am.”
John 14:1-3
Jesus’s disciples knew that He was about to leave them. He had told them so. But the followers just couldn’t wrap their heads around all they were being told. Jesus was going to die on a cross, then come back to life and then go to heaven? What were they to do without Him? How were they suppose to carry on the ministry? Would they ever see Jesus again? A thousand questions and concerns had to have been going through the minds of the disciples.
Jesus understood their concerns. He knew they didn’t quite “get it”. Jesus was compassionate with them. He gently reminded the disciples that He would be back for them. Better than that, while He was gone, Jesus would be preparing a place for them! A wonderful place with many rooms (enough space for all His followers)!
Today we still await Jesus’ return. No-one knows when it will be, but we can be sure that there will be room for all that love Jesus. No one that has been saved will be left out. Jesus has lovingly prepared a place for all His family and one day we will be gathered home together with Him.
What a wonderful time that will be!
