The Promise Of The Holy Spirit, And Of Christ’s Return; John 14:1 – 16:33 - Part -1

Church History: When he had convicted and discarded Judas, he set himself to comfort the rest, who were full of sorrow upon what he had said of leaving them, and a great many good words and comfortable words were spoken to them. Like Peter earlier, Thomas, Philip, and Jude, questioned what he had told them, giving their thoughts upon what he had said. The general scope of this discussion is as follows; It is designed to keep trouble from their hearts; now in order to do this they must believe:

Heaven as their everlasting rest, John 14:2-3.
Christ himself as their way, John 14:4-11.
The great power they shall be clothed with by the prevalence of their prayers, John 14:12-14.
The coming of another comforter, (the Holy Spirit) John 14:15-17.
The fellowship and communion that should be between him and them after his departure, John 14:18-24.
The instructions which the Holy Ghost should give them, John 14:25-26.
The peace Christ bequeathed to them, John 14:27.
Christ's own cheerfulness in his departure, John 14:28-31. And this which he said to them is designed for the comfort of all his faithful followers.
