How do we find comfort? Some try to find it in a new car, or by throwing themselves into their job. They find it in their spouse or a certain type of lifestyle. Others find it in a bottle, pill, or needle. Some in an enlarging bank account. Others resort to finding comfort at the wrong end of a gun, rope or suicide note. The disciples were fortunate; they found their comfort in Jesus, whom they traveled with for three years. But as they sat in the upper room, Jesus has just told them that he’s leaving them, going to his death, and it is a traumatic event! They had left everything for him, now he’s leaving them! So Jesus tries to bring them some comfort.
Scripture: John 14:1-14
