Dimension 3: Preparation. When Jesus
left the earth, He promised His followers: “In my Father’s house are many
rooms.… I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a
place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be
where I am” (John 14:2–3 NIV).
Since the day that Jesus left the earth over two thousand years ago, He has
been in heaven with the Father preparing a place for us, His children. Even
though today we toil, even though we experience suffering and death in this
life, there is a new life coming and a new order of things that will once again
place us into the very presence of God. “Now the dwelling of God is with men,
and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be
with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will
be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has
passed away” (Rev. 21:3–4 NIV).
