How do we know that Jesus desires to be with His people?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible reveals Jesus' profound desire to be with His people through His actions and promises, especially in John 14:18.

Jesus' desire to be with His people is evident throughout the New Testament and is poignantly expressed in John 14:18, where He reassures us, 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.' This promise is significant not just for the disciples of His time, but also for all believers throughout history. Additionally, during His final meal with the disciples, as He expressed His longing to share the Passover (Luke 22:15), it illustrates His love and commitment to those He redeems. The act of communion, where believers partake of His body and blood, serves as a continual reminder of His presence and desire to dwell among His people. Ultimately, it reflects that His desire is an expression of divine love, unchanging and unwavering, despite human frailty.
