Jesus' words in John 14

As the springtime has come, I think of one of the words Jesus said to the disciples.

"In My Father's house there are many dwelling places (homes). If it were not so, I would have told you; for I am going away to prepare a place for you." John 14:2 (Amplified)

The verse just before this is the following.

"DO NOT let your hearts be troubled (distressed, agitated). You believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely on God; believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely also on Me." John 14:1 (Amplified)

One year it suddenly dawned on me that Jesus was talking to his Jewish disciples who already believed in God. He is telling them to believe also in him.

Lord Jesus, I do believe!
