6. We find the next "I will" is in John xiv. 18:

"I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU COMFORTLESS."

To me it is a sweet thought, that Christ has not left us alone in this

dark wilderness here below. Although He has gone up on high, and taken

His seat by the Father's throne, He has not left us. The better

translation is, "I will not leave you orphans." He did not leave

Joseph when they cast him into prison. "God was with him." When Daniel

was cast into the den of lions, they had to put the Almighty in with

him. They were so bound together that they could not be separated, and

so God went down into the den of lions with Daniel.
