When did we become such a self-centered society?
When did our rights become the most important thing to us?
Why are we so easily offended?

How have we become a society where violence is the status quo when we are offended or someone wrongs us?
This is natural sinful man and this is what Jesus was dealing with with the disciples
Jesus continues to prepare His disciples for His departure
Problem: When Christians become to self centered and narrow focused
Drama
Disciples
Dazed and Confused
They had become too inwardly focused
They were sad - became consumed by tehir emotions and only focused on themselves
They took their eyes off of Jesus and considered it all over
They forgot about all of the Miracles they had seen him accomplish and the works He had done
Turns Water into Wine at teh Wedding at Cana
He Heals an Official’s Son
He heals an invalid at the pool
He fed the 5000 - plenty of leftovers
He walks on water
Stood up against the teachers - Saducees and Pharisees
Unless we forget, He raised Lazarus from the dead
They lost faith, became disheartened
This is the sinful side of man and the power that Satan has over us unless Jesus interveens
Jesus
Chided the disciples for their lack of faith and self centered focus
Wow, is me.
Jesus knows this is the resuly of sin and its effects on mankind
He knows because HIs whole purpose was to save man from this
He also knows this is how Satan works in this world
He himself was tempted by Satan
Turn stone in to bread
Worship me, someone other than God
Jump from the top of a temple and test God
Jesus was letting them know that someone else was coming in His place to be a Helper

Doctrine
God has not abandoned us
John 16
A person of the trinity has been engaged with mankind since its creation
God the Father in the Garden and with Israel, Jesus in the NT, and the HS shortly after the ascension
God has never left man to fend for himself
Illus: Israel in the desert -grumbling about the lack of water
Numbers 20:10-
Lack of faith - a feeling of abandonment
Jesus work was complete
The HS has a completely different role
The Sufficiency of Jesus death and resurrection
III.
Christ, by his obedience and death, did fully discharge the debt of all those that are thus justified, and did make a proper, real, and full satisfaction to his Father’s justice in their behalf.
Jesus work was going to be completed and the next stage of God’s drama was going to be enacted
The work of the Holy Spirit
John 16:
To Convict the sinner
To apply Christ’s righteousness to the believer - imputation
To conquer the ruler of the world - Satan
Calvin: that when Jesus Spirit in us strengthens us we overcome the ruler of this world
The HS gives us the ability to defeat Satan in our own lives
Sanctification
There was only so much the disciples could handle, they needed to grow in faith and knowledge
Growth in Christ
The Holy Spirit continues this spiritual growth
Doxology
Praise God for the completed work of Jesus
What Jesus accomplishes in His death burial and resurrection was complete
There is nothing to add - salvation is ours because of his work
Praise God for the work of the HS in our life
If we are made aware of our sin, then the HS is working faith in us.
He is building faith in us and making it possible for us to believe
He is convincing us of our sin
He has applied the righteousness of Christ to us - imputed
III.
Christ, by his obedience and death, did fully discharge the debt of all those that are thus justified, and did make a proper, real, and full satisfaction to his Father’s justice in their behalf.

Praise God for not abandoning us
He has not left you nor forsaken you
Satan often attacks us by getting us to look inward.
Its easier today than ever before.
We do the same thing as the world.
We have become easily offended and so self centered that we cannot see what is right in front of us - the very Spirit of God, the creator of all things, the Helper
Satan has us doesn’t he?
Some of us believe we have been abandoned by God.
He has not and will not.
Ezek 16:1-
Let us turn outward from the sinful self and look to the one who is our Helper - the Holy Ghost, the very Spirit of God
