3 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.
Since my purpose in going is to get rooms ready for you all, it only makes sense that I will come back to get you so you can live in what I've made ready. You can rest assured that my work will not go to waste. The work I am doing is for you and for those who will come after you. Otherwise, I would not need to go. If this life was all there was, and if you were the only children God had in mind to save, then I'd stay here with you. But the rooms you live in now are temporary; they are mere shadows of what is in store for you. Even your earthly bodies will be transformed to make you fit for your new home so you can stay there forever.
I want you to be with me where I am. The purpose of my coming to earth to be with you here was so I could bring you there. My temporary visit to earth was to tell you the good news of your permanent home in Heaven. My death and resurrection will seal the deal. The Holy Spirit is the guarantee that you will make your residency in Heaven.
