John 14:1 - 14:6
Gospel of JohnSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg challenges the common assumptions about the opening verses of John 14, arguing that Jesus' statement about preparing mansions in his father's house is not necessarily a reference to heaven. Instead, Gregg suggests that the word "monet" used in John 14:2 may refer to individual dwelling places in God's temple, which is comprised of his people. Gregg also emphasizes that Jesus' promise to send the Holy Spirit serves as a comfort for his disciples in his physical absence, and that the church is meant to serve as an organic part of Christ's body. Overall, Gregg reinterprets John 14 in light of the broader scriptural context.
