On the night before the cross, as betrayal and suffering loomed, Jesus turned not inward but outward. He spoke tender words to fearful disciples and made them a promise: "I will not leave you as orphans." This Sunday in John 14:15–24, we will behold the extraordinary heart of Christ, the adopting love of the Father, and the comforting presence of the Holy Spirit—the Spirit of adoption who teaches us to cry, "Abba, Father." Come and hear the gospel promise that you are not alone, not abandoned, but deeply loved and securely held as a beloved child of God.
