In today’s churches, many people are confused about the Holy Spirit’s exact role in God’s plan. We may have a mix of images in mind but lack biblical vision about this third person of the Trinity. Alistair Begg helps sharpen our perception by reviewing Jesus’ promises to His disciples. Like them, we may be confused about why He sent us the Spirit—but Jesus assures all His people that only the Spirit can help us grow in spiritual relationship with God.
5But now eI am going to him who sent me, and fnone of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ 6But because I have said these things to you, gsorrow has filled your heart. 7Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for hif I do not go away, ithe Helper will not come to you. But jif kI go, lI will send him to you. 8mAnd when he comes, he will nconvict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: 9concerning sin, obecause they do not believe in me; 10pconcerning righteousness, qbecause I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; 11rconcerning judgment, because the ruler of this world sis judged.
12“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13When tthe Spirit of truth comes, uhe will vguide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but wwhatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14He will xglorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15yAll that the Father has is mine; ztherefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
