"How in the world..." is usually followed by a problem we are facing that we cannot figure out. I have said it many times, especially in mechanical matters or in home repair. After what Jesus told the disciples about the world (John 15:18) they may have asked, "How in the world are we supposed to be fishers of men if they want to kill us?" It is a really good question given the response of mankind to God and the response of the religious community to the Incarnate Son. Mixed in this warning to the disciples we also find the answer to the question. Jesus reminded the disciples that the Helper would come when He had gone to His Father. The disciples were stressed out in their grief and probably could not think beyond the moment but Jesus was already looking beyond the cross, burial, resurrection and ascension to the expansion of His Kingdom through the power of the Spirit. God keeps taking powerful initiative to have a people for His Name and His glory.  As we will see Sunday, the Holy Spirit is not only with us, but He is also going before us. The Missio Dei (Mission of God) is now. Since God brought Adam and Eve out of hiding He has been drawing people to Himself. It is our privilege to say "yes" to His initiative and participate with Him in the process.
