Prepare a Place for You
(From Forerunner Commentary)

John 14:1-2  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) It is the night before the crucifixion. Jesus knows what is going to happen, so He prepares His disciples by telling them that He is leaving to travel, as it were, somewhere else. When He gets there, He will prepare a place for them. John W. Ritenbaugh The Covenants, Grace and Law (Part 2)

2 Peter 3:1-2  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) What did the apostles write? They wrote about the life and death of Christ, about prophecy, about the second coming of Christ, about the resurrection of the dead. They wrote about the establishment of the government of God on earth, about a whole nation being born in one day, about the world being filled with beauty, love, peace, and prosperity. Peter reminds them of this because this is where their hope needed to be. We too need to be looking forward to this to be able to relate what we are going through now with what is going to happen in the future. What is happening now is intended by God to prepare us for the future so that when His Kingdom comes, we are ready for it. Christ is not only preparing a place for us, He is also preparing us to be able to fill that place. John W. Ritenbaugh Don't Be a Prudent Agnostic
