I Will Come To You,

Jesus is preparing the apostles since his time on earth is
coming near the end. So He wants them to know that He
will come back and that they should not worry. Just as it
is now as He promised He will come back again. Over
all though, He is reassuring everyone to keep the faith, to
love one another. He tells them that they will know that
the Father is in Him and He is in the Father. Just as he
also says that he will be in them and they will be in Him.
The theme of Jesus throughout is that they are to love
one another and pass that love on to the world. As it says
in Corinthians; In the end there is faith, hope and love and
the greatest of these is love. As well as in James it says:
Be doers of the word, not just hearers. It is easy to fall into
that trap though; to intellectualize the word rather than to
internalize it. As he goes on to say to just hear, we would
become deceivers.
 
It's good to meditate upon the fact we aren't orphans. God hasn't abandoned us. We are able to love others because we feel God's love and presence in our own lives.

I would add not only as orphans without a heavenly Father but also did not leave us as widows, we are the chaste virgin bride of Christ our husband.(new creatures no longer male or female Jew nor gentile), We take special care for one another. It’s the kind of religion God promotes.

I think the below verses reflect the gospel as not leaving us as orphans. I will offer a couple examples of what I think is the spiritual meaning hid in those parables

James1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, Tovisit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Psalm68:5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation
