"He will glorify Me..."

Text: John 16:14

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE LORD JESUS

The disciples needed to learn how to appreciate the relationship between the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit. This is to prevent any misunderstanding of the Person and ministry of the Spirit of God when He comes to the Disciples at Pentecost.

“He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine
and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine.
Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.”
John 16:14-15

b) The Spirit of God will do the same thing.
c) He will not glorify Himself but focus on giving glory to the Son of God.

2. “For He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you”

a) Jesus declared what the Father revealed to Him.
b) This was what Jesus faithfully did (John 8:29).

3. “All things that the Father has are Mine”

v) All spiritual gifts for ministry

4. “Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you”
