John 16:5–11
“But now I am going to him who sent me; yet
none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ But because I have said these
things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. Nevertheless, I tell you the
truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the
Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. And when he
comes, he will prove the world wrong about sin and righteousness and judgement:
about sin, because they do not believe in me; about righteousness, because I am
going to the Father and you will see me no longer; about judgement, because the
ruler of this world has been condemned.”
Reflection
Do I always fail to understand Jesus?
Am I open to channels of his voice through
friends and strangers?
