What Every Orphan Needs to Know

Text: John 14. 15-23

What Every Orphan Needs to Know

“I will not leave you orphaned.” Jesus

Everyone is orphaned, if not literally, than metaphorically, by the pain, loss and sometimes by the devastations of life. The fear or reality of being alone needs the fulfillment of Christ’s promise that he will come to us and be with us. He brings us into the eternal family of the Trinity where Father, Son and Spirit are present with each other in conversation, love and great happiness.
