4. How many people have been helped by the words of Jesus Christ?
Think of the number of times that preachers have used John 14:1-3, to comfort those who have lost a love one in death. “Let not your heart be troubled: you 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 to myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”
