18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever -- 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
NKJV

My Comments:
In the Old Testament, though at times Israel sinned and provoked God to judgement, He always had them on His mind. He revealed Himself to them as Jehovah Shammah, or "God is Present" or "God is There". He revealed Himself as always being with them and not leaving them to their own destruction.
Likewise in the New Testament, we have a far better covenant established upon much better promises! We have the Holy Spirit living inside of us! And Jesus Himself has promised that He's with us always! Even in the darkest moments of our life when we feel all alone and abandoned by everyone, He's there to comfort us! Even when we succumb to temptation and we think that God isn't there for us, He still is! We know that when we call on His Name, He Is There for us!
