“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way to the place where I am going.” (John 14:1-4, NRSV)
Do not be troubled.
I have prepared a place for you!
I will come and get you and take you to myself. For I have prepared your place and will make sure you make.
Jesus has done it for us. He made a way, prepared the place, and when it is time, He assures us he will come and take us to where He has gone.
We will be with Him, and it is because of nothing we have done!

Yes, indeed, words of encouragement from Our Savior, to get us through another day in a depressing, sin cursed world.
