I Will Not Leave You as Orphans

Jesus continues to reassure his disciples, now with the fact that he will not leave them as orphans. But can you imagine how abandoned and isolated the disciples must have felt when Jesus was gone? Well, maybe you can. In this cold, dark world, many of us have experienced the pain of abandon-ment, the ache of loneliness, or the sting of death. But Jesus promises that this is not our home. He has prepared a home forever with him, without pain, ache, or sting, because in his love, he has destroyed them forever.
