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 also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going." John 14:2b-4 NIV
What a comforting thought! Jesus is preparing a place in heaven for us. The Lord who knows the number of hairs on our head, who knows every thought we have, who knows us better than we know ourselves is preparing our own unique place in heaven just for us.
Not only that. He's coming back to get us. The omnipresent Lord, God Almighty is giving us a personal escort to that special place so we can worship Him forever and ever.
In verse 4, Jesus reminds us that we already know the way to the place. He's the way! It's only through a relationship with Him, that we come to know the Father in intimacy. There are no options on routes to the final destination of heaven. Our GPS can't give us options of quickest time and shortest route. In heavenly terms, they're one and the same!
