The disciples are confused by Jesus saying that they will not see Him, and then they will see Him again. They were not aware of what Jesus was about to do. However, after He rose again, this all made sense to them. This can remind us that there are times in our lives when things just don't make sense. Everything seems to be going wrong, and you cannot understand why. However, looking back to past crises and struggles in our lives, we see how Jesus has worked for our benefit. We see the lessons He has taught us, and we see how He has brought us through them.
Do you question what Jesus is doing in your life? We should remember that though we cannot see His purposes right now, He is always working things for our benefit.
