John 16:18 KJV
They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.
The disciples that stood before Jesus that day just didn't understand His term, "a little while." They were confused about when Christ would depart and when He would return.
The disciples of today are no less confused. Christ's "little while" has turned into two thousand years. But that has not changed the thrust of the meaning of the Lord. Though God is longsuffering and patient, every Christian ought to live every day knowing that it is only "a little while" before Christ comes again.
