Hope in the Holy Week Scriptures


This week, I've been reading through the Holy Week happenings in the book of John. In John 14, Jesus is trying to prepare the disciples for his departure by sharing that the Holy Spirit will come to them to counsel, comfort, and remind them of His teachings. He promises, "I will not leave you orphaned. I'm coming back. In just a little while the world will no longer see me, but you're going to see me because I am alive and you're about to come alive. At that moment you will know absolutely that I'm in my Father, and you're in me, and I'm in you" (John 14:18-20 Msg).

What hope--not only for us, but for the Nyaka and Kutamba children that He is here with us through His Spirit. We are not alone.
