All week before Pentecost, we've read Jesus words, "I go away....if I do not go, the Spirit of Truth will not come."
Often in our lives, we reach a point where to stand for the truth carries risks. We are at a point such as Jesus gives us here in the Gospel. Do we take the risk? How hard was it for the disciples to be alone, without Jesus? How hard is it for us sometimes to do the hard thing, simply because it is the right thing?
We will never know the joy of risking unless we step forward when challenged. For often, just a step beyond the hard task is a new depth of joy and grace.
