To study John 16 in a group
1. What it says
Jesus says it is to their advantage that he goes away. What does he say the Spirit of truth will do when he comes? (vv. 7-15)
2. What it means
Jesus uses the picture of a woman giving birth to speak of sorrow and joy (vv. 20-22). What does he want his disciples to understand?
3. How I live it
Jesus says, “In the world you have affliction, but take courage” (v. 33). What difficulty today can you face with that peace?
