The Bible for the Ordinary Life

John 16 Part 1: Jesus foretells of coming persecution and promises the Holy Spirit


Listen Later

Jesus is continuing his farewell conversation with his 11, wide-eyed, sorrowful disciples. In these verses Jesus addresses the reality of what His disciples are about to face. I would have been just as scared and afraid as the disciples were. But, Jesus also talks about the coming Holy Spirit - the Comforter, the Counselor, the Advocate.

We'll talk about the name of the Holy Spirit, which is paraklete in Greek, and how His name relates to His role in coming alongside us.

Who is the Holy Spirit?
What is His role?
Why does He even have to come?
Why does Jesus have to go?

Jesus answers all these questions, and more, as He talks with his disciples in the final hours before His crucifixion.

The Bible is for everyone.
