In the first place, he is abandoning them. This isn't uplifting news in their ears. "Presently I am going to him who sent me. . . . Since I have said these things to you, distress has filled your heart" (John 16:5– 6).
This distress is attributable to love and numbness. To love: in light of the fact that their happiness is in him. To obliviousness: since they have no clue how his physical nonappearance could be further bolstering their good fortune.
So Jesus looks to set their bliss in his nonattendance not by reducing the adoration, but rather by evacuating the obliviousness. He says, "I disclose to you reality: it is further bolstering your good fortune that I leave, for on the off chance that I don't leave, the Helper won't come to you. In any case, in the event that I go, I will send him to you" (John 16:7).
Among the numerous reasons this is further bolstering their good fortune, the principle one is that the Spirit will make the radiance of Jesus all the more genuine. Truly, more genuine than if he were there in the tissue: "When the Spirit of truth comes, he will control you into all reality. . . . He will laud me, for he will take what is mine and proclaim it to you. All that the Father has is mine" (John 16:13– 15).
"Truly, there will be tribulation. In any case, the world that influences us so dismal will to not have the last word."
This is stunning. Do we see what this way to the devotees and to us? What number of Christians today say, "If no one but I could have been there and seen him eye to eye!" Or: "If no one but I could have a dream of Jesus as he truly was ever — something substantial!"
Such longings sell out a grave obliviousness of the points of interest we have, exactly on the grounds that Jesus kicked the bucket, climbed once more, and isn't here in substantial frame, yet exhibit by his Spirit. The Helper, the Spirit of truth, that the Father sends is the Spirit of the risen Christ. "I won't abandon you as vagrants; I will come to you" (John 14:18). At the point when the Spirit comes, Jesus comes. What's more, this nearness, he says, is superior to the substantial nearness of his natural days.
To have the Spirit of Christ at work in us, lauding the risen Christ and making genuine for every one of us that the Father is for us in him and in his triumph over death — this is a ponder tremendously better than what the pupils knew in their lifetime.
There is no more noteworthy grandness than the transcendence of God even with the risen Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6). The more full we are of the Holy Spirit, the all the more obviously we see and appreciate this radiance.
That is the principal way Jesus looked to balance out their satisfaction in these last, dull hours previously his demise. In spite of the fact that there is a long haul takeoff coming, he will be with them in a route superior to if his natural stay were broadened uncertainly.
