Can you imagine how the disciples felt when Jesus made this most remarkable statement? “It is to your advantage that I go away” They had walked with the Messiah for three years. Seen Him heal the lame, give sight to the blind and raise the dead!
You see until Jesus died He could not be in anybody, He could only be in one place at any one time and could only be amongst a certain number of people. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, can be with you right where you are and with other Christians, on the other side of the world at the same time.
The greatest mystery and miracle that there is, is that God, the Creator of the universe, should come to live within you and me. Christ in you – the hope of glory. Think about that! The result of being full of Jesus will result in a lifestyle that lives for Him.
Let’s make the month of April a celebration of His indwelling Presence.
John 16:7 (KJV) Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
