Read in KJV Bible Reader

John 14:16-19. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him: for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

"Yet a little while and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me." Now, when the world does not see him, we still see him. He is present to our faith, though passing from our sight. "Because I live, ye shall live also." Is he a dead Christ? Then he has a dead people for his church. He is a living Saviour: he has a living people; and they shall no more die than he shall die; "for he, being raised from the dead, dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him." "Because I live, ye shall live also."
