Jesus prepares his disciples for times he will not physically be with them.
Again and again John has emphasized the divinity of Jesus. Now Jesus speaks of returning to the Father.
Jesus does not leave his followers leaderless.
Mankind doesn’t need a physical king to follow. We need our hearts inhabited by God himself.
I need to rest in the reality that Jesus has accomplished everything necessary for justification. I also need to rely on the Holy Spirit for direction and sanctification.
When I rely on the Holy Spirit God uses me as his ambassador. While salvation is for my sake it is not JUST for my sake.
Father, help my trust in Jesus grow. Help me reliance on the Holy Spirit flourish.
