John 16

1 “All this I have told you so that you will not fall away.
2 They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God.
3 They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.
4 I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you,
5 but now I am going to him who sent me. None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
6 Rather, you are filled with grief because I have said these things.
7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
8 When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment:
9 about sin, because people do not believe in me;
10 about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer;
11 and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.
13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you

Thanks, Derek. Another great one! And so relevant to what we're seeing today! Verse 12 hits me really hard, and makes me wonder if I'll EVER be prepared to receive ALL that He'd have me know! But He's sent me enough to see enough, and I'm SO thankful for that! The haughty Christians who like to pretend only THEY, and only they, know the true meaning of the scriptures probably would profit from reading this one again?

Derek...a great post.....I know that God gave us free will and it seems like we always do the wrong thing with it....so he sends us a message to jerk us back to reality. PAUL

I'm still guilty of just flipping the book open and looking for something relevant. If I get off topic or out of line give me a heads up.

Well, Derek, since you need no head's up, how 'bout a pat on the back for doing a great job? Thanks. You're doing great!
