What Jesus said on the way out is tremendously important for us now while he’s gone.
‌
Last week: “If you believe in me, you’ll be continuing my works. And you’ll even be doing greater works than what I’ve done!”
‌
This week: “The most important thing for you to focus on is that you love me for who I am and what I’ve done for you. If you do that, you’ll gladly keep my commandments. And the Holy Spirit will be present with you to help and comfort you forever!”

Christian, your Lord has not forgotten you in these 2,000 years since his resurrection and ascension. He’s busily preparing a place for you. And because he knows exactly what it’s like to live in this world—to be tempted by sin, to suffer at the hands of others, to be anxious, to feel like you’re hanging on by just a thread, to be frightened by death—Jesus has made provisions for you to know comfort, peace, and truth.
