The Promise of the Holy Spirit, Part 2 John 14:15–24
John 14 is before us. We are in the Upper Room Discourse. That’s what it’s called, John 13 to 16. All the words of Jesus essentially, with a few other questions posed by the disciples; this is the long description of the promises that our Lord gives His children, every believer. All the way from chapter 13 to the end of chapter 16, just one promise after another, after another, after another. It starts with love, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the max.
Chapter 13, verse 1, that’s how it starts; and it just goes from there with promise, after promise, after promise. There is no other passage like this in the Bible. That doesn’t appear in Matthew, Mark, or Luke. This is inimitable to John. It is stretched out, elongated. It is down deep and up high. It is the richest section of Scripture summarizing what the Lord promises to those who belong to Him. Powerful, powerful passage. We are in chapter 14 and we’re looking at verses 15 and following – and I’ll read that in just a moment. But before we kind of look into that passage, just a few comments.
