Episode Details

This episode explains Jesus' words from John 16 that it is to our advantage that he goes away because, by ascending, he sends the Holy Spirit — the Helper who gives believers the benefits of Christ's life, death, resurrection, and ascension personally. The Spirit convicts, teaches, and brings Christ to us through the gospel, baptism, and the Lord's Supper.

Listeners are encouraged to reject the devil's lies, receive the Spirit's gifts, and live as redeemed co-rulers with the glorified Christ in their daily vocations.
