John 15:26—16:4

Jesus said to the disciples, “When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father, he will testify on my behalf. You also are to testify because you have been with me from the beginning. I have said these things to you to keep you from stumbling. They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, an hour is coming when those who kill you will think that by doing so they are offering worship to God. And they will do this because they have not known the Father or me. But I have said these things to you so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you about them. I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.”

Reflection

• Jesus is going to his Father in heaven, but he assures us that the Advocate will come. Would I be like Jesus being indifferent to people and places?

• Can I be with Jesus to see the reality of our world with different eyes and full of hope?
