- In the Gospel of John, the Spirit is called the Comforter and Helper. In chapter 16, we are told that the Spirit does another kind of work. John 16:8-11 has been on my heart and mind, as I’ve watched several, prominent men fall from power:
“And when [the Spirit] comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
