John 14:16-18
Near or Far? Here’s the Answer
Jesus told His disciples He was going to die and ascend to His Father in heaven but that He would not leave them as orphans. (John 14:16-18) Jesus explained that He would send a Helper to them and that the Helper would not only be with them, but also in them. You can’t get more near to someone than to be in them. That is God’s gift to believers. Christ’s Holy Spirit is in you. Near. Not far away. Near. Not inaccessible. Still not convinced? Listen to what Psalm 145:18 says,
“The LORD is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.”
Call on God in sincerity and truth. He’s near.
LORD, You are NEAR, not far removed. Thank You that we can call on You in sincerity and truth.
