In the Gospel of John, Jesus empathizes with his disciples’ sadness over his impending return to the Father. He commissions them and prays for their perseverance and unity. Just before his ascension, he tells them again of the promise of the Father to clothe them with power from on high. Jesus desires this for you too!
