Jesus' Final Discourse

I find this whole section, John 14-17, to be very comforting. When Jesus comforts his disciples ahead of this dramatic shift in their lives that will start very soon with his death and looks ahead to his ascension, he is also talking to his disciples today (us). Here is clearly brought out the work of the Trinity--Father, Son, and Spirit--mercifully working on the behalf of sinners. Especially comforting is Jesus' promise in John 16:12-15 that we will have the Holy Spirit to guide us in our faith walk. (Also, did you notice yesterday in John 14:25-26 how the Spirit would help give us the gospels--Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John--by reminding the disciples of everything they had been taught?)
