“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me” (John 14:1).
In our lives here in this world, we can find many things about which to be troubled. The disciples were troubled because the Lord Jesus had told them that He had to go away. He told them that He had to suffer, die, and then go away from them for a while. They would not see Him, for He would go back to heaven to be with His Father. But all this was necessary to settle the matter of sin, and to prepare a place for them in heaven.
Also, He reminds them that they believed in God, whom they could not see. However, they could see all the effects of His power, and feel the effect of His presence in their lives. It would be the same with the Lord Jesus. Even though they would not be able to see Him for a while, He would be up there in heaven, looking after them. Also He would send the Holy Spirit down to comfort them, and to guide them in this world.
The Lord Jesus is the same today for us. We cannot see Him now, but He is up there in heaven, looking after us in every way. There is no reason to be troubled!
