Let not your heart be troubled: ye 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 unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:1-4, 6-7

he continues with this later in the chapter about him coming again and making a home together with them making a way for them to go to the fathers house where he was going

when he’s talking about receiving the Holy Ghost

If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:15-20‬ ‭

He continues on with this understanding

“Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:23-24‬ ‭


This is what he told believers about them going to be with him and then this is what he told those who refused to accept him about going where he was going

“Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins:whither I go, ye cannot come.

And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8:21, 23-24‬ ‭

Believing the gospel is the difference in this

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 unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”


And this

“whither I go, ye cannot come.”

this

“And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭23:43‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Is what we want to believe when we face death Martha had thought the end was when her dead brother would rise up and Jesus offered faith to believe or reject in a reply

“Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.”
‭‭John‬ ‭11:24-27‬ ‭KJV‬‬
just a share of scripture and some thoughts , death shouldn’t make us afraid anymore the gospels main message has been hidden eternal
Life is the offer , an escape from the body of death and entrance into the eternal Kingdom

We should have hope when we’re looking at the natural sorrows of this world like death we’re not part of this kingdom anymore death is only a change of garments for believers

Translated from earth into the kingdom not of this world
