The Gospel of John 14:1-2 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” (John 14:1-2 KJV).

After the Lord Jesus revealed the betrayal by Judas Iscariot and Peter's upcoming denial, fearful signs of trouble are building up in the minds of the disciples. And the Lord Jesus in the shadows of His imminent death, assures them not to be troubled. He calls on them to be brave to face up that which about to unfold. It is important for them and to us too, now reflecting on these passages, to believe in God and in Him - our Lord Jesus Christ, in the face of our troubles. The Psalmist declared: “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” (Psalms 46:1 NIV).

The Lord Jesus continues His comforting declaration, that as He goes to His Father's house of many mansions, He is going to prepare a place for them - His disciples, and for us, too, who now believe and are born again. This promise was affirmed by Apostle Paul in his epistle to the Thessalonians and to us who rest in the Lord's grace by faith in Christ Jesus. “For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 ESV).

And I say, AMEN!
