John 16

LET IT GLOW 

Jesus was preparing His disciples for His departure. The trial of their faith was coming, so Jesus wanted them to be prepared. Yet, the did not understand at the time. 

Being a disciple of Jesus means:

• hatred so strong that they put you out of the synagogue;
• when they kill you, they think they're serving God;
• they reject God and Jesus.

How hard it is when family or friends reject your faith, love, and witness. 

Sorrow filled the disciples' hearts because Jesus was soon leaving them. Yet, Sunday was coming-the resurrection of Christ.

LET IT GROW 

It was necessary for Jesus to leave. Had Jesus not gone away, the Comforter would not have come. (verse 7) The Holy Spirit is our intercessor and consoler. 

The work of the Holy Spirit is to convict sin. We are not righteous, no not one, so we get convicted of it. 

Been under conviction lately? Does it bring repentance?

LET IT GO

We let go of pride and humble ourself before You, HOly God.
