Well put David and Chris!

So would we be as convicted and truly change without the Holy Spirit in our lives?

I believe that the Lord desires to see us desire to become like Him. Like a father does for his child. A father also helps his child to correct the areas with love what the child may be doing wrong. So also the Holy Spirit is coming in the Lords

Thanks David for your clear answer. You were able to present clearly what I tried to explain with many words.

So, everybody - forget my massy commment, stick with David's :-D

God bless all you guys!!!

I'm with Christoph. The best answer to this question has two parts:

1. Jesus had to go away so that the Holy Spirit's ministry would not be hindered by our looking to a physical person to lead and guide us. As long as Jesus was around it would have been difficult for the disciples to follow the Holy Spirit's leading (though we do see Peter being ministered to by the Holy Spirit when he

It's a hard question, and there have been some good reasponses in this post so far, but I'm still confused with it =).

As I read through some of the the responses above, I got the impression that some explanations were simply reiterating the fact that Jesus DID need to go in order for the Holy Spirit to come, but not necessarily WHY. In other responses, there have been some attempts

"You're actually going to benefit by My leaving."

With Jesus here, He was the One with the Holy Spirit indwelling Him fully. The Spirit was not able to be given because Jesus was not yet glorified(Jn. 7:39). And Jesus had told His diciples that they would do mightier things than even He did. The only way that was possible for them to do that was in the power of and by the Person of the

Concerning the attributes of the trinity the Holy Spirit could come on them, with having Jesus just visible next to them. There is no hint in the bible that I could think of, which would exclude to have Jesus walking visible arround you and the Holy Spirit in and upon you. Of course, even Jesus himself was filled with the Holy Spirit after he was babtized by John the Babtist (Matthew 3:16, Luke 4

The boys had to be shocked that there mentor was about to go. After all they have become very close to Jesus during this time, as you do when you are discipled.

Often times we forget as we are caught up in our daily activity's that we are filled with the Holy Spirit which is God and our Lord Jesus Christ, the Trinity. There concept of the Holy Spirit was fully experienced by seeing,

I believe the entire passage is key to understanding Jesus here.
His disciples are sad because Christ has said to them that He is going away, but HE has been teaching on abiding in Him, and wanting His joy to be full in them, even though they are going to suffer severe persecution. Christ knew HE would defeat death, we to, in HIM would be overcomers, as HIS Spirit of truth would infill and

2006-05-11T22:31:00.000-07:00

The first part of this statement had to be somewhat shocking to His disciples, where he seems to say "Hey, it's to your benefit that I physically leave you guys...permanently."

They must have thought "How can it be to our benefit? You're the Messiah. We need you to help us take over the world. You can't leave us!"

When Jesus came in the flesh, we know that he allowed himself
