knowing his time had come to die, and leave his disciples, Jesus made a concerted effort to express his love for them
recorded in
13:1: “he loved them to the end”
for all eternity
for all of their lives
with all of his love
Jesus expressed the fullness of his love by:
by washing their feet
being a Christ follower is being a servant illustrated in their Lord and Teacher washing their feet (13:4-20)
by letting them know he would be leaving them (13:31-35)
in his absence they were to love one another as he had loved them (illustrated in serving one another)
by telling them he would return for them
he was going away to prepare rooms for them in the Father’s house (14:1-11)
by encouraging them with the promise of fruitful labour (14:12-14)
Jesus promised to answer all their prayers in their work for him
by promising another helper
the Spirit of truth to dwell in them and be with them (14:15-17) and teach them all things and bring to their minds all that Jesus said to them (14:26)
he expressed his great love by making them many promises
you will be blessed if you do what I have commanded (13:17)
you will follow afterward (13:36)
since I go to prepare a place for you I will come again and take you to myself (14:2-3; 18)
they would do greater works than Jesus’ (14:12)
whatever you ask in doing these greater works Jesus will do for them (14:13-14)
the giving of another helper just like Jesus (14:16)
the giving of the Spirit of Truth (14:17)
because I live you will live (14:19)
loved by the Father and Jesus (14:21a)
Jesus reveals himself to them (14:21b)
he expressed his amazing love for them by encouraging and exhorting them
you are clean (13:10)
you should serve one another (13:15)
you should love one another (13:34)
you should not be troubled, I go to prepare a place for you (14:1-4)
I am the way, truth and life (14:6)
to know God is to know me (14:7)
we can expect to receive all that we need to do the work of Christ (14:13-14)
proof of love for Christ is obedience (14:15)
indwelling of HS for true believers (14:16-17)
this morning we will consider Jesus’ expressing his love through the promise of the Holy Spirit
Another Helper
in v.16 Jesus promised his disciples “another Helper” who would be with them forever
“another” means something of the same kind
Jesus had been with them 24 hrs/day, 7 days/wk, 365 days/yr for 3 yrs
all during that time Jesus had protected them, encouraged them, taught them, rebuked them, disciplined them, helped them ...
they had come to love him as their Lord and Master, their Friend and Teacher, their God and Saviour
now Jesus is about to leave them, but not alone
another helper, one just like him, will be given to them (v16)
another helper, one just like Jesus, will be given to them (v16)
and this Helper, the Spirit of truth would be in them forever (vv.16-17)
because he knew all things not being physically present with them did not hinder him but his disciples would have lacked the comforting assurance of his presence
they were understandably fearful, worried, frustrated, anxious
he would never leave nor forsake them!
never again will they be alone!
what we learn from this:
the gift of the HS is the same as having the Lord Jesus Christ!
is the same as having the Lord Jesus Christ!
every true believer has the Triune God within them
to have Christ is to have the Father and to have the Father is to have Christ
Acts 17:4
the fullness of the Father dwelt within the Lord Jesus and Jesus gives the HS to every believer
that HS is just like Jesus
“to be with you forever” (v16) & “he dwells with you and will be in you” (v17b)
when the Father sends the HS to live within the believer, he never leaves
once the Father sends the HS to live within the believer, that HS is there forever, he will never leave us
puts to rest the foolish notion that a true believer can lose their salvation
because saving grace is a sovereign gift of God, and God does not change his mind, and he is all powerful, all knowing and everywhere present we have full assurance that when he chooses to save a sinner it is forever!
can have full assurance of life eternal!
God’s gift of salvation can never be lost
just as Jesus is the exact representation of God so the indwelling HS is all that Jesus is
just as Jesus is the exact representation of God so the indwelling HS is all that Jesus is
to have the HS is to have Christ and to have Christ is to have the Father!
for this reason Jesus said in ,
knowing this Jesus expressed his love for them by spending much time at the Last Supper teaching and reassuring his disciples
during that time he demonstrated his amazing love for them
a love that was for all of their lives on earth, all of eternity, and to the fullness of his capacity
Jesus came to them after his resurrection and appeared to them over a period of 40 days
at the end of those 40 days Jesus ascended into heaven never to be seen again
Jesus promised them in that while he was with the Father that he would be preparing rooms for them and would come again to bring them home to be with him
he demonstrated that amazing love by washing their feet
the result of the promise of the never leaving HS!
though Jesus will leave them they are not going to be left as orphans because one just like Jesus, another Helper, the Spirit of Truth will come to live in them forever
he would demonstrate the fullness of his love by dying in their place on the cross
Jesus came to them through gift of the HS
he would continue to demonstrate that love through the indwelling HS
Jesus will come to them when they die
to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Cor 5:8)
example: Jesus standing to receive Stephen (Acts 7:55)
he promised to demonstrated that love by coming back for them
separation is temporary
he expressed his amazing love for them by teaching them
words
you are clean (13:10)
Jesus’ explanation of this in 16:19-22
John 16:19-
while those who hated Jesus rejoiced the disciples would weep and lament his death
the disciples were the only ones who were alone
however Jesus’ disciples will see him when he rises from the dead on the 3rd day
no other believer will experience this separation
but their sorrow would turn to joy
happened when Jesus appeared to them after being raised from the dead
