The text “John 16:4-11” refers to a specific passage in the Bible, from the Book of John, chapters 16, verses 4 to 11. Let’s explore the significance of this passage:

In John 16:4-11, Jesus is speaking to His disciples, preparing them for His departure. Here’s a breakdown of the verses:

  1. Verse 4: “But I have told you these things so that when their time comes, you will remember that I warned you about them.” Jesus is foretelling future events and persecution. He wants His disciples to be prepared and not caught off guard.
  2. Verse 5: “Now I am going to Him who sent Me; yet none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’” The disciples are confused about Jesus’ departure, and they haven’t fully grasped its significance.
  3. Verse 6: “Instead, because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.” Jesus acknowledges their grief and assures them that His departure is necessary for a greater purpose.
  4. Verse 7: “But I tell you the truth, it is for your benefit that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.” Jesus promises the coming of the Holy Spirit (the Advocate) after His departure. The Spirit will guide, empower, and comfort the disciples.
  5. Verses 8-11: These verses describe the work of the Holy Spirit:
    • Conviction of the world: The Spirit will convict the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment.
    • Sin: The world needs to recognize its need for salvation through Jesus.
    • Righteousness: The Spirit reveals Jesus’ righteousness and His victory over sin and death.
    • Judgment: The ruler of this world (Satan) is judged, and Jesus’ victory is assured.

In summary, John 16:4-11 emphasizes Jesus’ departure, the coming of the Holy Spirit, and the transformative impact of the Spirit’s work. It’s a significant passage that highlights God’s plan for redemption and the role of the Spirit in believers’ lives.
