Our text for this morning is really a little bridge. It connects two major events in Jesus’ ministry. Just before our text we have the baptism of Jesus. That was the day Jesus was introduced to the world as the Messiah, the Christ. A new King was anointed! Immediately after our text, this newly anointed King begins his public ministry. He announces the nearness of the Kingdom of God: The kingdom of God has come near! (Mark 1:14)
John 14:1-3
14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
