A Place for Us

The glorious hope we have as followers of Jesus is that one day we will live in a never-ending union with God in the New Creation. In Jesus’ final hours with the disciples (as told in John 14:1-14), He promises His frightened friends that they will dwell with Him forever in God’s presence. How comforting this must have been to them in the midst of chaotic current events. When Jesus told His disciples, “I go to prepare a place for you”, He is referring to the cross that awaits Him. It’s through the cross that Jesus will prepare a place for them ... and for us!
