One of the worst things to happen to a person throughout the history of the world is to be orphaned. In certain times, it meant that you had very few advantages or protections in life. You had to make your own way in a world where you needed help very much . This is a powerful statement from Jesus. He has brought these people away from their jobs and regular lives. Now He is going away. How important for them to know they are not being left alone. The Holy Spirit will connect Christians to Christ forever. If you have the Holy Spirit, you are forever connected to Christ.
