Are There Mansions in Heaven?

gospel of john heaven misreading scripture

What is heaven going to be like?

This is a question most of us have asked at one point or another. People have been asking about it for centuries. We’re curious what things will be like once we die. And sometimes, we even look to scripture to find out. We scan the verses looking for clues, for hints about the things that await in the life to come.

For instance, in John’s gospel, Jesus himself says,
“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.” (John 14:2-3)

Sweet! We all get mansions! It’s going to be like one glorious, heavenly version of cribs!

…isn’t it?
Or…is it?

Well, this week, we’re going to explore what Jesus really means when he talks about heavenly mansions, and who will actually receive this, in this episode of Misreading Scripture.
