Who Will Miss 2020?

I can’t imagine anyone ever saying that they will miss the year 2020. Such an incredible year that has been packed with the unusual and the catastrophic. So many have lost jobs and loved ones while so many other adjustments have been made. It has been a year filled with uncertainty. Who will miss 2020? 

Packed with the unusual is an understatement. Not only do we have the COVID-19 occurs with catastrophic consequences, the year was filled with conspiracy theories and uncertainty. Rocked by a controversial Presidential election, leveled by the insurmountable amount of news - 24/7, yet, filled with incomplete information. The result is a fearful and hopeless; many are simply put, cynical.

In John 14 we see the disciples wondering what the future held as they hear Jesus say He was departing. With so many changes and uncertainties they were comforted (as are we) by the words that Jesus spoke, “I will not leave you as orphans. I will come again.“ Indeed! He keeps His word.
    
How would you feel hearing what the disciples heard?  What would you want to change upon His return?
