Three Essentials Of Work

Text: John 16: 8 - 11

THREE ESSENTIAL AREAS OF WORK

Jesus went on to explain the work of the Holy Spirit when He comes.

“And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, And of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they do not believe in Me; Of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; Of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.”

John 16:8-11

1. “And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment”

a. Three areas of the work of the Holy Spirit in the world were highlighted:
i. Convicting the world of sin.
ii. Convicting the world concerning righteousness.
iii. Convicting the world of judgment.
b. These three areas do not limit the work of the Holy Spirit.
c. There are other areas of work that would be revealed at a later stage.

2. “Of sin, because they do not believe in Me”

a. Jesus was sent by God
i. As the Son of God.
ii. As the Saviour of the world.
iii. As the Master and Teacher.
b. To reject Him in unbelief is sin indeed.

3. “Of righteousness, because I go to My Father, and you see Me no more”

a. The Son of God was altogether righteous.
b. His returning to His Father after completing God’s Divine plan of salvation confirms His righteousness.
c. The Disciples would see Him no more, but they would have been impacted deeply by how He lived so righteously.

4. “Of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged”

a. This is a profound truth.
b. The ruler of this world is judged indeed when Jesus has triumphed over sin and death.
c. The Spirit of God would bear witness of the judgment of Satan, that he is defeated by Jesus.

经文：约翰福音 16：8-11

三个必要的事工

耶稣接着解释圣灵来之后的事工。

“他既来了，就要叫世人为罪、为义、为审判，自己责备自己。为罪，是因他们不信我； 为义，是因我往父那里去，你们就不再见我； 为审判，是因这世界的王受了审判。”

《约翰福音 16：8-11》

1. “他既来了，就要叫世人为罪、为义、为审判，自己责备自己”

a. 圣灵在世上的事工有三个
i. 叫世人为罪
ii. 叫世人为义
iii. 叫世人为审判
b. 但圣灵的事工并不限于这三方面
c. 圣灵其他的事工会在后期显现

2. “为罪，是因他们不信我”

a. 耶稣是上帝所差遣的
i. 为神的儿子
ii. 为世界的救主
iii. 为主子和夫子
b. 因不信而拒绝祂的确是罪

3. “为义，是因我往父那里去，你们就不再见我”

a. 上帝的儿子是义
b. 祂完成了上帝神圣的救赎计划后往回祂父肯定了祂的义
c. 虽然门徒不会再见到祂，但他们会因祂那富有义的生命而深受影响

4. “为审判，是因这世界的王受了审判”

a. 这是一个深奥的真理
b. 当耶稣战胜罪与死亡时，这世界上的王也受了审判
c. 上帝的圣灵会做撒旦受审判的见证，证明他的确被耶稣打倒
