“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 if I go and prepare a place, I will come again and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know. Thomas said unto him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come unto the Father, except by me.” John 14: 1-6.
