Introduction123456789101112131415161718192021LukeActs John 16
"He will guide you into all truth" (verse 13) is the ministry of the Holy Spirit completing the teaching of Jesus. We find this in the Epistles. "And he will show you things to come" (verse 13) is revelation. "He shall glorify me" (verse 14)—all of this is the unfolding of Christ's person and His ministry.
I consider verse 28 to be the key to this Gospel. The eternal Son came to the eart for one purpose—to redeem man. When the mission is accomplished, He will return to the Father. This is the movement in the Gospel of John. Though they believe He is the Messiah, they still don't comporehend His death, resurrection, and ascension. He has painted a black picture in this chapter; persecution is coming—"They have hated me and they will hate you; it will be rought going in the world—but be of good cheer! I have overcome the world" (see verse 33). His victory is our victory.
