we continue on in this series, we once again see Jesus talk about the Holy Spirit. This is the third time we see Jesus talk about the Holy Spirit in this last conversation with His disciples. The other times Jesus mentioned the Holy Spirit coming to them were when He talks about going away. He tells them that while His going away is sad, He has to go so the Spirit will come to them. I think that this is a good opportunity to talk a little bit about the Holy Spirit. [1] John 14:15-26, 15:26-27, 16:5-15

[2] John 16:7

[5] It is unbelief, the rejection of Jesus, which ultimately proves one to be guilty. The Holy Spirit will tell the world of the importance of trusting in, relying on, and clinging to Jesus to avoid this sin. - Enduring Word - https://enduringword.com/bible-commentary/john-16/amp/

[6] The judgment of Satan himself means that there will be a final reckoning between God and His rebellious creature. The Holy Spirit warns the world of this coming judgment. - Enduring Word - https://enduringword.com/bible-commentary/john-16/amp/

[7] Jesus frankly admitted that His own teaching was incomplete, and anticipated the further instruction of the church by the Holy Spirit. This statement of Jesus leads us to anticipate the formation of the New Testament.

i. Here Jesus answered those who say, “I’ll take what Jesus taught, but not what Paul or the others taught.” Paul and the other New Testament writers taught us the many things that Jesus spoke of. - Enduring Word - https://enduringword.com/bible-commentary/john-16/amp/
