Join Kael in this groundbreaking episode as he unpacks John 14 through the lens of Dr. David Pao — a Hong Kong-born New Testament scholar and Dean of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. What if “My Father’s house has many rooms” wasn’t just about heaven, but about God's presence in you? 🌊 Discover why John 14:1–4 isn’t just funeral comfort — it’s a mission call 🔥 Learn why “Get up, let’s go” is the most ignored but urgent command 🏠 Reimagine sacred space: your home, your subway, your office = holy ground 🐟 Featuring the salmon metaphor, this episode will rewire how you see your faith ▶️ Are you a decorative light… or one sent into darkness? Why These Greek Words Matter in Jesus’ Farewell 🔍 Why these words — topos, hetoimazō, monē — matter: Dr. David Pao isn’t just doing a word study — he’s showing how John 14 builds a vision of intimacy, permanence, and promise in God's relationship with us. Here's how each term steers the direction: 1️⃣ Topos (τόπος) – “Place” Why not use: a generic term like chōra (region) or kōmē (village)? Because: Topos refers to a prepared, intentional location, not random space. 🧭 Theological Direction: This isn’t about going to “heaven” as escape. It's about a personal place within God's household. Dr. Pao draws this to show Jesus’ work is relational and specific, not abstract or symbolic. 2️⃣ Hetoimazō (ἑτοιμάζω) – “To Prepare” Why not use: a vague verb like poieō (to do/make) or kataskeuazō (to construct)? Because: Hetoimazō carries covenantal, prophetic weight — it’s what kings do before guests arrive. 🧭 Theological Direction: Jesus isn’t building a house — He’s preparing a welcome. This draws from Exodus and temple imagery — God preparing a place for His people. It ties Jesus' departure to His love, not His absence. 3️⃣ Monē (μονή) – “Dwelling/Abode” Why not use: oikia (house) or skēnē (tent/tabernacle)? Because: Monē comes from menō (to abide), and implies mutual, lasting presence. 🧭 Theological Direction: The point isn’t just going to God, but God coming to dwell in us (John 14:23). It reframes eschatology — not just future location, but present indwelling. ✨✨Dr. Pao uses this to show: Heaven begins now, as Christ dwells in His people. ✨✨ 🧠 David Pao’s Argument in Summary: He reads John 14 not as a travel itinerary to heaven, but as a relational covenant rooted in God’s: Intimate preparation (hetoimazō)✨ Personal welcome into a divine space (topos)✨ Mutual abiding presence (monē)✨ 👉 This leads to a theology of presence over place, relationship over reward.✨ 參考： 港九培靈研經大會（第94屆） 2022年8月9日晚堂奮興會鮑維均牧師: 起來，我們走吧！    • Видео   #KaelsPodcast #John14 #DavidPao #NewTestamentTheology #ChristianPodcast #WhereIsGod #SacredSpace #SpiritualFormation #FaithInAction #GodWithUs #BiblicalContextMatters #DeepDiveBibleStudy #ComfortAndCalling #GetUpLetsGo #SalmonFaith #LightInTheDarkness #TempleWithin #HolyGroundEverywhere #JesusPresence #GospelInsights #約翰福音14章 #鮑維均
