Present Comfort


Meditating on John 14:1-12 as words being spoken to me by the Risen Christ right now gave them new meaning.  I'm used to thinking of Jesus at the Last Supper telling  his disciples not to be troubled at the thought of his leaving them.  In this time of the virus I heard the Risen Christ present in me and in my room saying, "Do not let your heart be troubled.  You have faith in God; have faith also in me."   As I hear of more people dead and more people sick and more people depressed or just plain tired being at home, it was a great comfort to talk to the Risen Christ really present about how this is affecting me and to hear his words of encouragement.   .
