John 16:20-23:
Jesus tells his disciples that when he leaves life will go on as usual for the world. It may seem that they are lost forever in grief and despair, but like the mother who labors forgets the pain once she has her newborn child in her arms; their joy at seeing him in glory will overshadow their suffering.
There seems little to hope for in the world today. I have only to remember your promise that one day there will be joy and it will last for all eternity.
