Jesus shares an extended farewell discourse in the last 3 chapters of John’s gospel. In this gospel he has tried to explain for the 5th time to his disciples the benefits of both his departure and the coming of the Holy Spirit – the paraclete. (John 14:16-17, 14:26, 15:26, 16:7-11, 16:12-15).
Our sermon text on this Trinity Sunday reminds us as disciples that it’s OK not to know for sure, what’s next. It’s OK to be vulnerable. We’ll learn how prayer is more like a divine, joy-filled dialogue than it is a holy download, and how the Persons of the Trinity can comfort us at different points in our Christian journey. Let’s read John 16:12–15 New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 He will glorify me because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15 All that the Father has is mine. For this reason, I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
