"Many Mansions"

John 14:1-6


Do not let your hearts be troubled.

Don't worry.

Trust in God; trust also in Me.

You can depend on what I say.

In My Father's house are many rooms;

There are already many mansions, many dwellings there.

I am going to prepare a place for you.

It's a real place and I really am going there and will prepare a real place for you to live.

And if I go and prepare a place for you,

Which I am doing,

I will come back and take you to be with me that you also will be where I am.

When I go away, you can be sure that I will come back for you, I won't just send for you, I myself will come to get you and take you to be with Me so that wherever I am, you will be with me.

You know the way to the place I'm going.

You know Me, and I will take you there.

Thomas said, "Lord, we don't even know where you're going, so how can we know the way [to get there]?" Jesus answered, "I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

There's only one way into this world (sperm and egg), and only one way into the next. It's God's house, He can set the requirements for who is welcome to enter, just like I can in my own house.
