Jesus effectively replaced Himself with the Holy Spirit, Who is just as active today in all of our lives as Jesus ever was with those He interacted with back then...In fact, Jesus even implies here that God's influence is even GREATER now since He has returned to Heaven. I would agree.
AMEN! What a profound and comforting truth. Fear has no hold over those who are His.
