vs 18 I will not leave you as orphans. I will come to you.
You are not orphans. You have a Father. You are the children of the Most High. You belong to the family of God. In fact, I am your elder brother, the Firstborn.
The Father, the Spirit, and I would never dream of abandoning you or leaving you alone to fend for yourselves. What kind of father would walk away from His children or not allow them to live in his house and provide for them? What sense would it make for a father to build a house, make many rooms, and create a place for his family, and then leave them outside in the street? Even sinful earthly fathers know enough to care for their own children whom they love. They know it is right to make a home for them and give them the love and care they need to grow up. How much more will your Heavenly Father do for you?
If God the Father and I are spending all this time and effort preparing a place for you, would it make any sense at all for us to not bring you here to enjoy it?
We're doing it all for you, so you can be sure that I am coming back to get you.
This is why I have assured you that you do not need to be troubled. There is so much in store for you. So much for you to look forward to. Even though what you are facing right now on earth is difficult, you will be full of joy in God's house.
