In My Fathers House Excerpt: Why the statement in John 14? “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believed in God, believe also in me. In my father’s house are many mansions…” John 14: 1-2. Almost every Christian, because of the way they have been programmed, sees John 14:1 – 3, to be the hope of the Church. Supposedly promised by Jesus for us to ‘escape’ the persecution of the so-called ‘Antichrist’, either through the ‘rapture’ or may be by death. Then we go up to heaven above, and collect keys to beauti-ful buildings that Jesus has been constructing for us for the past 2,000 yrs. But the point is, what exactly is Jesus talking about?
What led to this statement of His? What hope was he really pre-senting to the Church? What does the ‘mansion’ and ‘father’s house’ stand for? Etc. These are the things we hope to examine in this Book.
In My Fathers House Cont..
Firstly, the scene was in the Passover chamber, while He was with the Apostles. Now why did He make the statement? This statement because of the following reasons;
(1) Because of the disturbances that was in the heart of the dis-ciples as a result of the prediction of His betrayal and subsequent death John 13:21 – 30;
(2) The denial of Jesus Christ by Apostle. Peter John 13: 36 – 38.
So ultimately, Jesus made these statements to strengthen their faith as a result of the confusion that was already develop-ing in their hearts. Come to think of it, for the Apostles to begin to hear that the Messiah they have so trusted in, walking with them for three and half years, performing signs and wonders, will suddenly be betrayed, arrested and killed. To them all hope was lost, as to what the future holds and even whom else to be-lieve in as their leader.
