Jesus said to his disciples: “A little while and you will no longer see me, and again a little while later and you will see me.” The disciples became very confused and couldn’t understand what Jesus meant. These words are also a little confusing for us today. I think Jesus was trying to tell His friends that He will be going to the Father, so He will no longer be physically present with them, but that separation will not be forever. The disciples, after finishing Jesus’ mission on earth, will be again reunited with the Lord. But that mission still continues today, and we are Jesus’ disciples right now. We may not see the Lord the way the disciples did, but if we persevere and continue this mission, Jesus will comfort you with the same words: “in a little while later and you will see me.”
