We were privileged to have Jared Taylor speak to us about John 14:2-3, “My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that 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.”
Jared Taylor is known to us due to his decade on staff at The Meeting House. He is married to Jen, and together they do their best to keep up with their boys, Isaac and Cohen, and they live just up the street from Westheights. He currently serves as the Communications Director for the Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada.
VERSES TO MEMORIZE
Message by Jared Taylor – August 11, 2019
John 14:2-3 NIV My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that 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.
WHAT IS THE FATHER’S HOUSE?
1. The temple
2. Jesus Himself
3. Heaven?
WHERE IS JESUS GOING?
1. The cross
2. The grave
3. To be with the Father
WHEN IS JESUS COMING BACK?
1. From the disciples’ perspective – three days later
John 20:19 NIV On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!”
2. From our perspective – some day
John 21:22-23 NIV Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.” Because of this, the rumour spread among the believers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?”
KEY LEARNING
Our reward for believing in Jesus, is Jesus
APPLICATION
1. Believe in Jesus
2. Eternity begins now
3. There’s vacancy in the Father’s house
