Our Scripture reading today is John 14:2-3.
Verse 3, "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."
The Lord Jesus is comforting His disciples regarding His soon to be departure from them. These verses of Scripture continue to comfort and encourage all disciples of the Lord Jesus. “They were not to think of Him as having ceased to be when they could not see Him. He had only gone to another abiding-place to prepare for their coming; and moreover, He would come back to receive them.” (Morgan)
Comfort comes not in the place but in the Person. What makes Heaven the place to be is that Jesus Christ will be there. I love the last part of verse 3, "...that where I am, there ye may be also." Our place is being prepared and we are being prepared for that place. We will be with Jesus for all eternity!
