“of sin, because they believe not on me; of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.”
John 16:9-11 KJV
John explains God’s tremendous care for all mankind, that the Holy Spirit in us will persuade them concerning their sin. Sin is to live out of context with the blueprint of one’s design, and out of tune with God’s original harmony. In this union with us, the great Companion will also convince the world of righteousness because in disappearing out of sight, to be face to face with the Father, the Spirit of Truth will interpret the conclusion of Jesus’s mission which is mankind’s association in Christ and our redeemed innocence. The intimate union with the Father that Jesus displayed while present in His physical body, will be made visible in us! Then the world will be convinced that the judgment that was their due, was accomplished when the ruler of this world system was judged. Just like Jesus and the Father, the Holy Spirit will not condemn the world but rather convince the world! In Jesus dying mankind’s death, closure was brought to the system of the law of works and performance as dictating and defining human life. Conviction comes in mankind’s co-crucifixion and joint-descent in Jesus into their hell; and in their co-resurrection and co-elevation to be seated together with Him in heavenly places! Glory to God!
