Is Jesus with us always, even in bad situations?

Yes. Jesus is Immanuel—God with us! Particularly in difficult times, he is by our side. Sometimes the difficult situations of life do not allow us to feel him near us but He is always there, as a permanent present, committed and mysterious. The Cross is the commitment of God with pain and human tragedy. He died to let us know that, even when we die, he does not leave us alone!
