Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus, here, correlates fasting with sadness. Jesus' disciples cannot fast because he is with them. However, when Jesus is taken away from the disciples, they will fast because they are sad. In this sense we do not ever have to fast. We are never not in Jesus' presence. He is always with us, giving us the courage and strength we need. We do not need to feel alone, abandoned, forsaken, sad, etc., for the Lord is always with us. God bless you.
