John 14:1-3
“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 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. 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.

Application: 

Jesus compassionately sought to calm his disciples’ fears about his impending departure. What words of comfort did he offer to give them confidence? 

First, he said, Believe in God; believe also in me (14:1). In other words, “Place your full trust in me, just as you trust in the Father. We are unified, sharing the same divine nature and the same divine purpose.” 

Second, he told them that they had heavenly real estate waiting for them: In my Father’s house are many rooms. And Jesus would prepare a place for them (14:2). According to Jewish wedding custom, the father would add rooms to his house for his newly married son. Jesus wasn’t abandoning them but going to prepare their eternal home. When your time comes, have no fear. Heaven has been prepared for you.

Jesus promised them, “I will come again and receive you to Myself.” This return, which Jesus prophesied, is what we call the rapture, the time when he will return to receive his saints and take them to heaven (see 1 Thess 4:16–17). This will happen before his return to earth to establish his millennial kingdom.
