Jesus will come again and receive you
“In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”—JOHN 14:2,3
Jesus, that last night before His death, gave His disciples many promises, and none more wonderful than that He was leaving for the purpose of preparing a place for them in heaven and that He would be back to take them there. When Jesus said, “In my Father’s house are many mansions,” the actual original language puts it this way: “In My Father’s house are many rooms, many rooms.” There’s only one house— the Father’s house—with many rooms.
I’m not living 15 blocks from the Father’s house; I’m in it. And so are you. I’m going to go there to be with the Lord. He will dwell forever with His people, and I shall dwell in His house. What is the Lord Jesus doing right now? He’s in heaven. One of the things He’s doing is getting it ready for His children, and someday He’s coming to take us all to be there.
That looks at the Rapture when Jesus comes and snatches away His redeemed to heaven where we’ll celebrate the marriage supper of the Lamb and receive our eternal rewards and find our room in the Father’s house. And we’ll dwell there throughout all of eternity, enjoying all the things that God has prepared for those who love Him.
