What do you do when you feel like God has stepped out of the room? When Jesus told His disciples He was leaving for "a little while," they immediately panicked. And throughout church history, our default human instinct has been to do the exact same thing: build a religion around the absence of Jesus. We act like we’ve been left home alone with an impossible religious to-do list, terrified we’re going to fail inspection when He walks back in the door. In this message from John 16, we look at the comforting reality behind Jesus' words. Jesus is not an absentee landlord who leaves you to manage your own spiritual survival. He went to the cross to pay your debt in full, rose to swallow your death, and is present with you right now. Through the Holy Spirit, Christ delivers His own righteousness, peace, and unconditional forgiveness straight into your ears. If you are exhausted from trying to hold down the fort, hear the good news today: your sins are forgiven, Christ is present, and no one can take your joy away.
