This is what Jesus seeks to do with all of us; he wants to put us at ease in his presence. When Jesus met with the Eleven in the upper room after his resurrection, there was no hint of saying, ‘How could you do this? Why? How could you have deserted me like that?’ No. He just picked up where he left off before the whole ordeal began and said, ‘As the Father has sent me, I am sending you’ (John 20:21).
