Summary: I will not leave you orphans.
JESUS WILL COME AGAIN.
5. Jesus will come again (John 14:18-20).
The word translated “comfortless” (John 14:18) is quite literally “orphans,” which returns us to Jesus’ tender “little children” with which He began this discourse (cf. John 13:33 – ‘My little children, yet a little while I am with you’).
Jesus’ “I will come to you” (John 14:18) might refer to His coming in the Spirit, but perhaps also to His appearing at the end of the age. We find the same phrase at the end of the Bible (cf. Revelation 22:20).
Jesus also said, “Behold I am with you always, even to the end of the world” (cf. Matthew 28:20).
Meanwhile we “see” Him with the eyes of faith, and because He lives, we live (John 14:19). “At that day” (John 14:20) would then refer to the day of His coming.
