John 14:15-24

Summary: Jesus’ most detailed teaching on the trinity (John 14-17) comes on the verge of his arrest and crucifixion. Interestingly, it’s at a moment when his disciples were most deeply in need of comfort and reassurance that Jesus chooses to unveil such a profound mystery. He teaches them that in God, there is a communion of love and intimacy. And the reason that ought to comfort the disciples is that, when the Spirit comes, they too will get caught up in this outpouring of love and intimacy that God has in himself. This Sunday we’ll look at the Biblical basis for this profound doctrine as well as some of the reasons it’s so essential for us to know God as trinity.
