  3. THE EVENTS John 13-17 • The scene is a farewell meal. • “Yet a little while I am with you … Where I am going you cannot come.” (13:33) • Peter: Oh no you’re not! (13:36-37) • Thomas: We don’t understand! (14:5) • Philip: Okay, show us! (14:8) • Christ points to the Advocate (14:16-17)

  4. ADVOCATE • KJV: “Comforter” • ESV: “Helper” • NIV: “Advocate” • Greek: “Paraclete” • An advocate is one summoned to your side to plead your case before a judge. • In the last lesson, Jesus was defeated our enemy on the battlefield. In this passage, Jesus speaks for us in a courtroom.

  5. TWO ADVOCATES “another Advocate” • The Holy Spirit isanother advocate, like the first but somehow different. • Ifyou do not understand the work of the first, you will not understand the work of the second. • The second follows the first, 16:7 • The second represents the first, 14:18

  6. THE FIRST 1 John 2:1-2 … But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins … • We stand exposed before the bar of justice. • In a sense, your Advocate becomes you. • With Jesus, the plea for pardon is not mercy, but justice.

  7. THE SECOND John 14:25-26 • The First Advocate is speaking to the Father for you. • The Second Advocates is speaking to you for the Father (and for you!). • The Law is now on our side, because we are lost in our First Advocate. • The Second Advocate helps us to see and respond to what the First Advocate has done (16:8-11).

  8. TWO ADVOCATES John 16:12-15 • Hear what the Second Advocate says about the First Advocate! • Jesus is savior because he is our first advocate. • You are a sinner – are you living with the humility and dependence on God that results from that fact? • You are also righteous in Christ – are you living with the boldness and freedom that results from that fact?
