John 14: Jesus is preparing a place for me

Jesus is about to be crucified. He had already take the Lord's Supper with his disciples. In his last moments, Jesus assures that he will not abandon his disciples. Jesus is going to his Father's house but not only that, he will prepare a place to each one of his disciples. 

NASB 1 “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many rooms; if that were not so, I would have told you, because I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming again and will take you to Myself, so that where I am, there you also will be. 4 And you know the way where I am going.” 

Now, imagine that Jesus is preparing a house to one of his disciples but something goes wrong: this disciple falls into temptation and can't go to this house. Strange, isn't it? It is much easier to believe that Jesus is with each disciple, not only preparing his place but also strengthening him in the faith.
