The Holy Spirit's Work

Jesus’ disciples are filled with sorrow when He says He must leave, yet His departure is for their good because He will send the Holy Spirit. Through Jesus’ death, resurrection and return to the Father, the Spirit comes to expose sin, true righteousness and God’s judgement. His work is gracious, not merely condemning. He guides people into the truth of Christ’s cross, comforts guilty hearts with Jesus’ payment, and keeps turning Christians back to Christ as they battle sin with hope.
