Throughout the history of God’s people the phrase “I am with you” conveys the sense that God will defend, protect, strengthen, comfort, and guide His redeemed people to an enduring experience of His presence. God’s presence sustains His people. Jesus, Immanuel, God with us (Matt. 1:23), promises God’s ongoing presence: “I will be with you always” (Matt. 28:20). . . . Christ, our great high priest, has been exalted to God’s right hand, where He intercedes for his people so that they may approach God’s throne of grace to find grace in time of need (Heb. 4:14-16). Jesus promised His ongoing presence, and this role is fulfilled by the Spirit’s indwelling. The Spirit plays the central role in sustaining God’s people during their wilderness journey to the heavenly city.
