Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
I find this to be an very interesting quote in the bible. Jesus said he must go for the counselor to come(some say its the comforter and or the holy spirit). I am assuming Jesus and the counselor can not occupy the same time/space together. They can not exist together on earth.
This quote makes me aware how important certain things in our life must happen before God's plan can be carried out. Why did God not send the Counselor 1st and then Jesus? Because God has a pathway of events that must occur in a certain order for his Word to be carried out.
I have learned to trust in God no matter what even in bad times, because he knows what's around the corner, even when we do not.
