Let not your heart be troubled / John Chapter 14 (Part 1)

‘Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that 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 14:1-4, NIV.) We are facing major changes in the world. Jesus cautioned us in Matthew 24, 'And you will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.' All that is happening today is a preparation for the soon return of Christ. In this message I want to teach on John 14, which are some of the final words of comfort which Jesus gave to His disciples before His crucifixion. But these words are not just a comfort for them, but also for us, as we wait for the soon return of Christ.
