The Words of Jesus of Nazareth
|
I go to prepare a place for you
Know this: if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and take you to be there with me; so that where I am, there you may be also. 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 must go away, but I will come again to you. If you truly loved me, you would rejoice, because I go to the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
Do not wonder what I mean when I say: A little while, and you will not see me; and not long after that, you will see me again. You will weep and be sad; but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful; but your sorrow will be turned to joy.
A woman, when she is in childbirth, has pain and agony; but as soon as she has delivered the child she forgets the anguish, because of the joy that her child is born into the world. For a moment you may experience sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will be able to take your joy from you.
