When Jesus spoke to his disciples about leaving, they naturally responded with a lot of questions. As Jesus addressed their concerns, he offered comfort, explaining that though he was leaving soon to be with the Father, he would not leave them orphaned. It’s a message that speaks to all of us who feel a little left out or abandoned. For Jesus not only promises his constant presence in our lives, but reminds us of our responsibility to be there for one another as well. The church is a place of healing, love, and grace. A community of people who look out for one another, as Dr. Kelly Pigott explains.
