John 16:

7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

I have heard it said that Jesus going away physically allows for God to be spiritually with everyone. One can imagine the "scandal" if Jesus were only to visit a few people in bodily form, once in a while. Wouldn't it be a bummer if your spouse said, "Jesus stopped by before you got home from work and gave me a big hug: I really needed it."

He surely could if He wanted to. Yet God in His omniscience has ordained it to be this way for our benefit. John 16:7

Besides, faith wouldn't be required if Jesus appeared in bodily form frequently. Yet it is impossible to please God without faith. Hebrews 11:6
