Jesus Comes to Take to Himself Those Who Know Him and Share Close Communion with Him ㅡ

 “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.

 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.” (John 14:1-3, 7)

 To His faithful followers Christ has been a daily companion, a familiar friend. They have lived in close, constant communion with God. 

 They are prepared for the communion of heaven, for they have heaven in their hearts.

 The time of tarrying is almost ended. The pilgrims and strangers who have so long been seeking a better country are almost home.
