Today's Daily Bread

Fri. May 18, 2012 : Acts 18:9-18; John 16:20-23

I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you. How do you say goodbye? For Jesus, preparing to leave his disciples seems to have been a long process. A large portion of John’s Gospel -- Chapters 13-17 -- is often called the “farewell discourse.” Jesus’ main concern is not what will soon happen to him, but what will happen to his disciples after he is gone. Over and over again, Jesus promises that he will not abandon them. Remember that I’m always with you, but soon I will be with you in a different way. You must say goodbye to the old life, the old way. Our hearts rejoice in your steadfast, gracious presence, O God.

About Daily Bread

The Lectionary provides a kind of spiritual script for the universal church that keeps us, literally, all on the same page as we journey through the liturgical seasons. These short reflections, written by four authors who meet regularly to share the readings, are intended to help daily preachers and others who pray from the assigned scriptures each day to orient themselves to the Living Word addressed to the church in the world.
