“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
John 16:12-15
In these final moments, Jesus still has things he wants to speak to his disciples. How fascinating - he is not asking to be comforted - but is instead speaking words of comfort and care. Revealing that the Comforter will come - leading in all truth, convicting of sin, sealing our salvation, reminding us what to say, assuring us of our pardon. Jesus reminds His disciples they will never be left or forsaken even in their leaving and forsaking. Jesus reminds us that all who are his are never left or forsaken because he himself was left and forsaken.
