John
14:16-17,26 – And I
will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with
you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees
him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you…But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will
send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I
have said to you.
John
16:8-12,14 – When he comes, he will prove the world to be
in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: about sin, because people do not believe in
me; about righteousness, because I am going to the Father,
where you can see me no longer; and about judgment,
because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
“I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear…He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive
what he will make known to you.
Application:
- · “Advocate” referred to any person who helped someone in trouble with the law.
- · Both the Father and the Son are involved in the sending of the Holy Spirit.
- · “About righteousness” was the righteousness brought about by Christ’s sacrificial death.
- · To live out Christ’s teaching requires the enabling presence of the Spirit.
- · The Spirit draws no attention to Himself but promotes the glory of Christ.
