If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it, the roots of true achievement lie in the will to become the best that you can become.
Jesus did not expect the disciples to disband after His departure, but to carry on the work in even greater magnitude.
Jesus’ departure really was best. It was best for Jesus, best for the disciples, and best for the world.
Jesus wants the disciples to realize this, and so says, “If you loved Me, you would rejoice” at His return to God the Father. Jesus goes in loving obedience to God the Father, and out of love for fallen humanity.
Being Christ's disciple does not grant us exemption from the storms of life, but promise us the power and the peace to weather any storm.
All men desire peace, but very few desire those things that make for peace. How many a defeated lives would buy the power of the Holy Spirit if they could? This can’t be bought, but Jesus gives them as gifts to His people.
