1. He convicts of sin (8-11)

The Holy Spirit makes us realize that we are sinners. Unbelief is sin. The Holy Spirit makes us realize that we can be righteous by accepting the gospel. He assures us that our sins are forgiven through the death and resurrection of Jesus. The Holy Spirit teaches us the reality of the final judgment, so that we may fear God and escape the snares of the prince of this world.

2. He will guide you into all truth (12-15)

A good teacher knows that he cannot teach his students everything at once. Jesus was a good teacher. He would leave, knowing that though his disciples were weak, they were growing. The Holy Spirit would lead them into all truth: his textbook is the Bible; his major subject is Jesus. He would bring glory to Jesus by revealing more and more of his grace and his love to Jesus' disciples--this includes us. The Holy Spirit does not speak on his own; he only speaks what he hears.

Application: Lord, send me your Spirit to lead me into truth. Especially, help me to meet Jesus in the pages of Holy Scripture.
One Word: Learn from the Spirit of truth
