"I go to prepare a place for you"

    

        John 14

  

     “Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way where I am going.” 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also; henceforth you know him and have seen him.”

    We know that we are going to lose friends, and lose contact with people we care about.  We know that things are not always going to be as though we want them to be, and we know things are beyond our control.  Jesus know what was going to happen to him, and he knew that his friends were going to go a time without him.  He offered them words of comfort, TRUE words of comfort, not empty platitudes, because he knew they would be hurt.

    As for me; I am comforted knowing that I will see some again, either in this life, or the next.
