The Vineyard- May 31, 2015


The Vineyard

I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5

 

John 16:4-15

-          “To our advantage”

o   It is hard to believe that it was actually to the disciples’ advantage that Jesus’ leave them.  Why does Jesus say that it is to their advantage?

o   We often lament not living at the time when we could physically see Jesus, which would be a tremendous blessing.  However, Jesus says we receive a greater blessing in the coming of the Helper.  Do we sometimes forget about the presence of the Helper in our life?

-          For the prosecution

o   The Helper will come and convict the world of what three things?

o   How are sin, righteousness, and judgment defined by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ?

-          Glorifying Christ

o   The role of the Helper will be to assist the disciples in comprehending the identity and teachings of Christ. 

o   How do we rely on the Helper, the Spirit, to guide us in better understanding and following Christ?

Pray that we will embrace the role of the Helper in our lives. 

Pray that the world will be convicted of sin, righteousness, and judgment through the work of the Helper.
