“And when I go to prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself that where I am you may be also…”
NOT talking about where you go after you die.
Was talking about a NOW state of being.
“Where I am” is about HIs then, now, and forever perfect oneness with His Dad.
“Take you to myself” has already happened and His perfect past, present and future oneness with His Dad is now ours.
Listen again to some of the first words He spoke after His Resurrection:
”Go tell my brethren that I go to My Father AND YOUR FATHER.” In other words, “I went to the ‘place’ (Cross) and removed every reason for distance and delay. Now I can take you to myself - to the same place I occupy in my Father’s heart.”
“This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased…”
Maybe we should stop fighting all the battles and fully embrace the truth that He has taken us to Himself. Less questions and more thanksgiving. Gratitude without the needy attitude.
Less praying to and for and more living “IN” and “WITH” and “FROM.”
Less wondering “if” and more “yes & amen!” More rejoicing, celebrating, and more hallelujah’s that “where He is we are also!”
