John 14:2-3 In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. (3) 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.
Three points:
1. House
The Father must have a huge house, for in it are many, many staying places. Many think this is heaven itself instead of a separate house. These "mansions" may be like apartments, rooms, or mansions. Whatever they are, there is plenty of room for all.
2. I go...and prepare
The Lord Jesus isn't sitting around. He is working--preparing, getting things ready for us.
3. I will come...you
Even though it has been close to 2000 years, since he left, he will come back. It would a waste of his time, it he left and prepared these living quarters but didn't come back for the people who would live in them. Let us comfort ourselves.
