yes for a time what?
quite deleting stuff from thread tyrant.
Out of an ultimate act of love - Jesus not wanting his Apostles to feel remorse and despair - blesses them, - in order for their "joy to be complete"... He tells them "Do not worry, although you won't be able to ask me anymore - anything you ask my Father, in my name, will be done - so that your joy can be complete".
This was a sacred gift given to the Apostles during one of their darkest moments - full of pain and despair. It was meant as a temporary act of love - to get them through their time of grief, by knowing that he is from God because God will provide anything asked in his name.
He immediately goes on to say, "Soon, I will no longer use figures of speech but will tell you directly. On that day, you will still ask in my name but by then, I will no longer intercede on your behalf." Because. by then, if you truly believe in me and love me, you will be able to ask the Father directly and he will provide because of your love and faith in me.
