The Presence Of Jesus

Have you ever felt distant or disconnected from God? Have you ever experienced feeling like you were alone—even when you were not?

We can experience loneliness, even when God is nearer to us than we can imagine.

The Psalmist writes, “But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.” (Psalm 73:28, ESV).

It is good to be close to God and to take comfort in the refuge and presence of God.

In Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus himself promised that he is always present with his disciples. Jesus said, “And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20, ESV).

There is never a time when a follower of Jesus is not in the presence of Jesus. God is always with us. We are never alone.

May we experience the presence of Jesus as we “Seek the Lord while he may be found and call upon him while he is near.” (Isaiah 55:6, ESV).

In Christ alone, Robbie

A Prayer For The Presence Of Christ: “Lord Jesus, stay with us, for evening is at hand and the day is past; be our companion in the way, kindle our hearts, and awaken hope, that we may know you as you are revealed in Scripture and the breaking of bread. Grant this for the sake of your love. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
