He has ’spoke'n to the disciples of the great assurances which, as they go out to serve in the world, will be theirs: the assurance of the love of God, the asâ€" surance of Christ‘s abiding presence, the assurance of the Spirit‘s coming. What more is left to do now except to commend them to the eternal care of the Father in heaven" Here, then, we have Jesus as the great High‘ Priest of his Church, interceding for his followers, both those who are alâ€" ready his and those who shall afterâ€". wards be gathered in.

It is easy to turn one‘s back on life, and go into a cloister; it is hard to fight the good fight in a world of severe temptation. But this is what Jesus asks for his followers. V. 15â€"17.
