"That Were I am You May Also Be"--Jesus

When Jesus was sharing with his diciples in the upper room in John 14, he was comforting them as he shared the fact that he was going to be going away for a while.

He said he was going away to prepare rooms for them in his Father's House.

He also promised that he would be back for the disciples so that he could bring them to where he was at.

I don't know about you, but the comfort in this passage doesn't come from the fact that Jesus is preparing a home for me in Heaven.  The comfort--for me--comes from the fact that Jesus is coming back for those who believe and we'll be able to be with Him.

Give me a mansion without Jesus and I give you an empty mansion.

Give me a shantee with Jesus and I'd say "that's paradise!"
