John: The Continuing Ministry of the Holy Spirit

Sorrow mingled with fear and anxiety gripped the hearts of the disciples as they looked ahead as Jesus spoke about leaving and the opposition that was waiting for them. In their sorrow Jesus comforted them. He tells them it is for their benefit that He leaves, because He will be sending the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will continue the ministry of Jesus, by exposing the darkness, guiding the disciples into all truth and glorify the Son.
