The Gospel according to Matthew ends with a wonderful promise to all believers. Jesus promised,"I am with you always, even to the end of the world" (Matthew 28:20). How can the living Christ be with us always? We can't see Him, but we have His promise.
Jesus Christ is with us through the Holy Spirit. The word translated Spirit comes from a Greek word that means breath or air. The Spirit of Christ is like the air that we breathe. We can't see the air around us, but we all understand there is no life without the air we breathe. New life in Christ comes to us through the Holy Spirit, when we believe or trust in Him. He is with the believer now and always.

Just think, all relationships in life are temporary, except our relationship with the Lord. He is with us always. Not even death can separate the believer from Him. "And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can't, and life can't" (Romans 8:38, NLT).
Since the Lord is with the believer always, we must not ignore His presence. Talk with Him throughout the day. Ask for His wisdom with all of your decisions and problems. Even around others, we can pray silently, because He knows our thoughts. He shares His thoughts with us through wisdom and the words of Scripture. He's with us always. Christ is with us now.
