 I am going to prepare a place for you.

[b]I am going to prepare a place for you.[/b]

[i](John MacDuff, "The Words of Jesus")[/i]


"I am going to prepare a place for you.
When everything is ready, I will come and
get you, so that you will always be with Me
where I am." John 14:2-3

What a wondrous thought!

Jesus is now busied in Heaven in His people's
behalf! He can find no abode in all His wide
dominions, befitting as a permanent dwelling
for His ransomed ones.

He says, "I will make a new heavens and
a new earth. I will found a special kingdom.
I will rear eternal mansions expressly for
those I have redeemed with my blood!"

Orphaned pilgrims, dry your tears! Soon the
sighs of a groaning and burdened creation will
be heard no more. Soon He will come again, to
receive those who followed Him in His cross, to
be everlasting partakers with Him in His crown!

 Re: I am going to prepare a place for you.

Jesus = "The Divine Bricklayer"?
Can I ask a question - Jesus spoke these words at the last supper - after that where did He go? and when did He come back?
Do these words not speak of Jesus going to the cross and death and then coming back to them in the resurrection?
Through what Jesus accomplished for us on the cross we can now have open access to the Father. Praise God that we do not have to wait until some future time after death until we can access the Father's dwelling, but as verse 23 says - "Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." The word for abode in verse 23 and dwelling in verse 2 is the same.
Praise be that in Christ God "has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ"
Do not fail to claim your inheritance now! Now we can dwell with the Father. What a glorious gospel and glorious Saviour.
