But now that he is preparing a place for his people, he has gone to Heaven on purpose to do it. He used to stand still here on Earth and work miracles. But this was a miracle that he could not perform while he was here. He had to go back to his home above in order to prepare a place for his people. What sort of place, then, must it be that needs Christ himself to prepare it?

He might have said, "Angels, prepare a mansion for my beloved." But no, he leaves not the work to them.

Bothers and sister, he will do it well, for he knows all about us. He knows what will give us the most happiness - and what will best develop all our spiritual faculties forever. He loves us so well that, as the preparing is left to him, I know he will prepare us nothing second rate, nothing that could possibly be excelled.

Spurgeon - from his sermon, "A prepared place for a prepared people"
