Bible Commentary

John 14:3

Jesus promises to return and bring his disciples into his presence. Christians relate this promise to death and Christ’s final return in different ways; it does not invite children to seek death.

Memory phrase: Jesus will return

Talk about it: How can hope and sadness both be present?

Prayer: Jesus, help me listen carefully to your words.
