A Place For You Read: John 13:36–14:4 If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. —John 14:3 Bible in a Year: Job 11-13 A couple who brought their elderly aunt to live with them were concerned that she would not feel at home. So they transformed a room in their house into an exact replica of her bedroom at the home she left behind. When their aunt arrived, her furniture, wall hangings, and other favorite things felt like a special “Welcome home!” to her. In John 13:36–14:4, we read that at the Last Supper Jesus spoke to His disciples and tried to prepare them for His death. When Simon Peter asked, “Where are you going?” Jesus replied, “Where I am going you cannot follow Me now, but you shall follow Me afterward” (13:36). Jesus was still speaking directly to Peter (and also meant it for all of His followers) when He said, “In My Father’s house are many mansions [rooms]; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also” (14:2-3). Heaven is a family gathering of believers from every tribe and nation, but it is also our Father’s house—and in that house He is preparing a room just for you. When you arrive in heaven and Jesus opens the door, you’ll know you’re home. I have a home in heaven aboveFrom sin and sorrow free—A mansion which eternal loveDesigned and formed for me. |

Marbella, I wonder if we go straight to Heaven. I remember a time when there was limbo (for babies not baptized) and Purgatory for people who havent lived a perfect life, or Hell for the real baddies. I hope He has a room prepared for me.

friend thanks for your message: I mean that the Bible says in John 3:16 I am the truth and the life: no man come to the Father but is THROUGH His Son. This means that if in life we have received Christ as Savior, then our name will be forever written in the book of life, that gives us the right to enjoy the presence of our loving Father, no limbo or place for evil or for those who have been better, there are only two places, Heaven or Hell, babies will not be judged by their innocence.
