In today's Gospel passage, Jesus knew that His disciples would experience grief and sadness after His death. However, He also assured them that these feelings would not last forever. Jesus promised them that their sorrow would turn into joy, a joy that no one could take from them because He would rise from the dead and see them again.
If we trust in Jesus, we can be assured that whatever sorrows we endure will not last forever. He is present with us here and now in the power of His risen life, and this transformation of sadness into joy can be experienced during our life journey, not just in the life beyond death.
