On the night before His death, Christ addressed the eleven remaining disciples (Judas had left by this time) in the upper room. Though the cross, with its sin-bearing and separation from the Father was imminent, Jesus’ focus was not on His own ordeal. Instead, He was concerned for the disciples, whose world was about to be shattered. In these very intimate moments, Jesus lays the foundation for their comfort. And not for their comfort alone, but also for all believers.
