It means believe.
“Trust God.
Trust me,” Jesus is saying.
Jesus is saying, “even though your world is crumbling around you, when everything is crashing down, keep possession of your of your hope when you can’t keep possession of anything else.

Heaven passages:
Hebrews 4:16
Revelation
Jesus is going away to secure the disciples eternal home.
What does Jesus mean when He says His Father’s house has many rooms?
The abundant amount of rooms in the Father’s house is also an abundant opportunity for souls to be assured they get one.
Jesus was a carpenter; isn’t it fitting that He uses a metaphor here about a home being constructed?
Many rooms has been described in earlier translations as mansions.
The Greek term is MONAI which means abide or to remain.
Jesus showing the happiness of heaven.
Heaven is a house, a permanent structure, not a tomb, not something made with human hands, but something made with eternal hands built for eternity.
It is built by the Father.
It is distinctive.

They gave up their homes to follow Jesus.
How beautiful is it for Jesus to declare that the Father has a room for them?

Assurance of His Word
Assurance of His Promise
Assurance of His Affection

The design of Jesus going away was to prepare a place.
There is an emphasis on preparation.
Preparation included Him being our advocate.
Preparation included Him making provision.
Preparation included Him being our pathway.
Then He moves to the promise of His return.
This reminds not only His return, ,but the fact that He is near.
Also that He will come again and we will be gathered to Him:
Jesus is implying here that the disciples have previously been told the way; it had been previously revealed.
Jesus is willing to make the best of His disciples’ knowledge.
He had told them throughout His ministry.
Where did the disciples think that Jesus was going?
Maybe they thought they were going to another town to set up a kingdom.
Thomas wasn’t sure.
That is an example for you and I, when the Lord tells us something and we don’t understand, we need to ask for clarification.
Their final understanding would not come until the resurrection.
