Jesus spends a fair amount of time in the Gospel of John preparing his disciples for his departure from them. They react to news that he will be leaving them with fear and apprehension, so Jesus comforts his friends by assuring them that God’s Spirit will remain with them and provide all that they need. He then prays to God that they might be comforted and that they might find the resolve to continue with Jesus’ work and mission. This talk reflects on these themes.
