The crux of the message was Jesus is very much alive and though having ascended to heaven is with us as He has promised 'I'll never leave you nor forsake you' and 'I'll be with you till the end of age' therefore how seemingly desperate your need/situation is Jesus is there for you in that very desperate situation, He loves you and cares for You just the way you are not wanting you to be alone, lonely or helpless so take off your eyes from your situation and set your eyes on Jesus alone.
