Why Jesus Had To Leave - John 14-15

Mar 27, 2024



Why Jesus Had to Leave, John 14–15

As we continue our journey in John 13–19, the last day before Jesus is crucified, we see He is teaching these men as much as He can. Today we will look at His teaching on the coming of the Holy Spirit. He promises the Holy Spirit will come and live in us (John 14:15–18). He will not leave us and will teach us all of the things that Jesus is talking about. The Holy Spirit, when He comes, will bring us God’s peace. The peace that helps these disciples get through all the persecution and danger is in the book of Acts, John 14:25–28.

The purpose of the Holy Spirit is to teach us the things that we need to serve the Lord. In John 15:1–8, we have the teaching on the vine and the branches. God the Father prunes us, helps us grow in Him, and produces eternal fruit. The Holy Spirit in us is the one who convicts us and helps us grow. As well, the Holy Spirit will always point us to Jesus (John 15:26–27). He will witness about Jesus.

Please note that in these verses we see the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He, the Spirit, is addressed as male; He and Him are called another (meaning one of the same kind) in John 14:16, ‘another helper’, He is from God the Father, but He is another of the same kind like Jesus. Jesus is God; thus, the Holy Spirit is God. Jesus kept His promises, and in John 19, after the resurrection, that very night, to be exact, Jesus came and ‘breathed’ on His disciples, and they received the Holy Spirit (John 20:21–23). Jesus left so we could have the Holy Spirit; He would be with us always.
