“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.

 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.

John 14:1-3 (NIV)
