John 14:2

Jesus' Farewell Discourse

¹ "Stop letting your hearts be troubled; keep on believing in God, and also in me. ²  In my Father's house there are many dwelling places; if there were not, I would have told you, for I am going away to make ready a place for you. ³ And if I go and make it ready for you, I will come back and take you to be face to face with me, so that you may always be right where I am.

I Go Away

My Father

Prepare a Place
