Summary: "The separation is wide and fearful, but Christ has made provision again to connect us with Himself," (NL, 45). We have every reason to believe and nothing to fear. In this new beginning, with the unknown and the uncertain, rejoice as you imagine Jesus smile, rejoice as you learn of His sacrifice for you, rejoice as you recognize the perfection of prophecy and the mercy of His condescension. Rejoice that He longs for closeness with you and surrender what distances you from Him.
