THE BELIEVERS CONSOLATION, In the Remembrance of his Heavenly Mansion prepared for him by CHRIST.
BEING THE SECOND SERMON: AND Preached on the LORDS-DAY, MARCH XXIX. 1663.
John 14.3. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to my self, that where I am, there you may be also.
This Verse, and the former, holds forth a double Consolation, to support the Disciples against the suffering which they were to conflict with, either In the way of Truth, or For the way of Truth. This Verse holds forth the second Argument of Consolation; the former you have in the second Verse: it is taken from the Place they were to be taken to after Death. And this Argument in this Verse is taken from the Company they shall have in that place; and that is his Personal Presence, his full and clear Presence: Where I am, there you shall be also.
