“Why Jesus Left”
📖 “It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you.”
—John 16:7 (NKJV)
Have you ever had a friend move away?
It can feel really sad. You might wonder, “Why did they have to go?”
That’s how Jesus’ disciples felt when He told them He was leaving.
But Jesus said something surprising: “It’s better for you if I go.”
How could that be true?
Jesus promised to send the Helper—the Holy Spirit.
He would come to live inside those who believe in Jesus.
That means we don’t have to go to a special place to be near God.
He is with us all the time, in every place.
Even though the disciples were sad, they soon found out that Jesus was right.
And we can be glad today that He went—because His Spirit came!
Think About It:
- Do you know that God’s Spirit lives in you when you believe in Jesus?
- How does it feel to know He is always with you?
Prayer:
Jesus, thank You for sending the Holy Spirit to help me and live with me forever. I’m never alone because You are always near. Amen.

● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
