Jesus told his disciples on one occassion (Matt. 26:11), "The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me (with you - LT). Wait! What's this? Jesus was/is "God with us." How can he say he would not be with them always? Does He all-of-a-sudden lose his "Immanuel" status? In what we have called the "Great Commission" he said he would always be with them (Matt. 28:20).
What's the deal here, Jesus? Why would you not be with them?. The obvious answer is that, at some point, they would not see his phycial presence anymore (when he ascended into heaven) but His spirit...His essence....His truth....His spiritual presence would always be with them.
The point Jesus is making in the Matthew 26 passage is that He would be gone from their presence phycially so they had better keep focused on Him, His minsitry and what they were to be learning from Him. Now was the time to keep their eyes...hearts...thoughts fixed on him!
So here we are today. You have Jesus with you now. I don't want Him to ever leave.
