6May 12, 2015 Lesson 29 - John 15:26 - 16:33

15 26 “But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me. 27 And you also will bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.16 1 “I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. 2 They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. 3 And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me. 4 But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you.

7May 12, 2015 Lesson 29 - John 15:26 - 16:33

4 “I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. 5 But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ 6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. 8 And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; 10 concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; 11 concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

8May 12, 2015 Lesson 29 - John 15:26 - 16:33

12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot

bear them now. 13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will

guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his

own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and

he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 He will

glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to

you. 15 All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that

he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

9May 12, 2015 Lesson 29 - John 15:26 - 16:33

16 “A little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me.” 17 So some of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me’; and, ‘because I am going to the Father’?” 18 So they were saying, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We do not know what he is talking about.” 19 Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, “Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, ‘A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me’? 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy.

John 15:26-16:33 (ESV)Jesus’ Continuing Discourse

10May 12, 2015 Lesson 29 - John 15:26 - 16:33

21 When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. 22 So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. 23 In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

John 15:26-16:33 (ESV)Jesus’ Continuing Discourse

11May 12, 2015 Lesson 29 - John 15:26 - 16:33

25 “I have said these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father. 26 In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; 27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. 28 I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I am leaving the world and going to the Father.”

John 15:26-16:33 (ESV)Jesus’ Continuing Discourse

12May 12, 2015 Lesson 29 - John 15:26 - 16:33

29 His disciples said, “Ah, now you are speaking plainly and not using figurative speech! 30 Now we know that you know all things and do not need anyone to question you; this is why we believe that you came from God.” 31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? 32 Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. 33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

Where are Jesus and His Disciples and why?

16

In the midst of persecution, Jesus promises His presence through the Holy Spirit, God Himself, who will be with the believers to testify of Christ. Under the Old Testament Law, two witnesses are required to establish a matter (Numbers 35:30; Deuteronomy 17:6). The NT was written by human authors and inspired by the Spirit; the product of two divinely selected witnesses.

John 15:26-16:4 (ESV)Promise of the Holy Spirit

Lesson 29 - John 15:26 - 16:33May 12, 2015

17

• God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are three different persons; masculine pronoun used

• Sent by Christ and by God the Father to testify of Christ

• Sent from the Father - indicates deity• Is God, equal in nature, separate from

Father and Son, but submissive to the duties of Father and Son

John 15:26-16:4 (ESV)Promise of the Holy Spirit

Lesson 29 - John 15:26 - 16:33May 12, 2015

18

• During his ministry, Jesus attracted most of the opposition to Himself and was there to help His disciples when they fell short

• Jesus warned His disciples to not be “offended” (stumble) when persecuted Expelled from synagogue, cut off

socially from society Killing Christians as an act of service;

same word for priestly service at altar

John 15:26-16:4 (ESV)Promise of the Holy Spirit

Lesson 29 - John 15:26 - 16:33May 12, 2015

19

• The disciples would be filled with their own “inward grief” or “sorrow”

• Jesus: His departure is to our advantage – “expedient” (see also Caiaphas, John 11:50)

• Three words used to describe Jesus’ leaving: - Go away – departure- Go – for specific purpose (send Helper) - I go – affects relationship (separation)

John 16:5-16 (ESV)Work of the Holy Spirit

Lesson 29 - John 15:26 - 16:33May 12, 2015

20

• Helper won’t come unless Jesus leaves• When He departs, Jesus will send Helper • Masculine term used - emphasizes the

personhood of the Holy Spirit• Holy Spirit will convict (refute adversary

completely) and cause one to see sin (unbelief); righteousness (Christ is the standard); and judgement (condemnation of Satan, prince of this world).

John 16:5-16 (ESV)Work of the Holy Spirit

Lesson 29 - John 15:26 - 16:33May 12, 2015

21

• The Spirit’s ministry is twofold: to the world (John 16:7-11) to the believer (John 16:12-15)

• For later: “…cannot bear them now” – promises a

Guide to complete their education later Show them things to come – probably a

reference to NT doctrines they will write Glorify Christ – not Himself (the Spirit); not

other earthly personalities or ordinances

John 16:5-16 (ESV)Work of the Holy Spirit

Lesson 29 - John 15:26 - 16:33May 12, 2015

22

• Jesus poses riddle for the disciples in John 16:16

• Meaning is clear in hindsight; two different words for “see” to physically gaze upon to understand spiritual reality

• Jesus assured them: Sorrow would turn to joy (John 16:20-22) Power in prayer (John 16:23-24) Victorious peace (John 16:25-28)

John 16:17-28 (ESV)Sorrow to joy

Lesson 29 - John 15:26 - 16:33May 12, 2015

23

Sorrow to JoyJohn 16:20-22 – Jesus used example of the pain

and then the celebration of childbirth as example of disciples’ grief that would turn to joy.

Lesson 29 - John 15:26 - 16:33May 12, 2015

24

• Disciples affirm belief Jesus came from God• Their present knowledge is incomplete• Spiritual immaturity highlighted when

Jesus warned them, you will forsake me; The disciples would scatter like a flock of sheep fleeing from a wolf

• Final message before the cross: “peace”• “Take courage” in the face of danger

John 16:29-33 (ESV)Jesus has Overcome

Lesson 29 - John 15:26 - 16:33May 12, 2015

25

• Jesus explained His sacrifice to His disciples; He promises they will receive the Comforter, Who will help them and He encourages the disciples to stand firm despite trials

• As believers, we live in two worlds:- In this world, we are tested and tempted- In Christ, we can find true peace
