Listen to This Article
The "many mansions" of John 14 set forth the blessed fact that there is room in the Father's house for the many families which shall share in the fruits of His everlasting love. But our Lord assures His disciples that His going to heaven was at once to prepare and define the place which they were to occupy. There was no place there for them till He went thither; but
His
place
was
to
be theirs.
Wondrous truth! The notion that the many mansions set forth the various rewards to be given to Christ's servants is, in our judgment, simply absurd.
"I
go to prepare a place for you." What has this to do with rewards? It is His entrance there, not our working here, that prepares our place in the Father's house. We believe, of course, in rewards; but
John 14:2
2
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. (John 14:2)
has nothing to do with them.
