The Helper - Part 5
John 16:14-15
05/23/2025
14 He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine
and declare it to you.
15 All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said
that he will take what is mine and declare it to
you. (ESV)
We believe, teach, and confess that God is three Persons yet
one God. The Father created us and sent His Son to die and rise
again to redeem us from sin, death, and the power of the devil.
The Son, Jesus, is both true God and true man, begotten of His
Father from eternity, yet born of the virgin Mary. The Holy
Spirit brings us to faith in Christ Jesus, giving us the ability
to hold to the promise of salvation earned for us on the cross of
Calvary.
The night Jesus was betrayed, while comforting His
disciples, He also told them of the work of each person of the
Trinity.
He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and
declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine;
therefore I said that he will take what is mine and
declare it to you.
The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are of one will, even as
they are one true God. Their will is that all people accept the
salvation earned by Jesus Christ, that all people come to the
knowledge of the truth of salvation from sin and eternal death by
God's rich love alone, for the sake of Christ Jesus alone.
The Holy Spirit ensures that the Christian Church will last
forever, even if individual congregations may open or close. He
causes the truth of God's love to be proclaimed. Please join us
at Trinity Lutheran Church on Sunday morning to receive the hope
and comfort of God's rich love and mercy, the assurance of the
forgiveness of your sins.
God grant this for Jesus' sake. Amen.
