When He Comes
When He Comes
John 16:8 “And when he is come, he will reprove the world of
sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;10 Of righteousness,
because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is
judged.”
Reprove: reprimand, rebuke, to criticize sharply or to prove again.
To the unregenerate He will come, “Why do
you not believe My Son? Do you know your
sin? Sin as I have called is
disagreement with Me. I have shown you
His reality. In creation His power is
seen. When I spoke, He went from Me and
accomplished the work I sent Him to do.
Does My Spirit have to prove this to you again?”
This is the sin of their world:
Romans 1:20 “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the
world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his
eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified
him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their
imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.”
According to these verses, deliberate forgetfulness
drove Mankind into the ditch. Unbelief
was the bastard child when vain imaginations mated. This was the third
generational step away from God resulting in foolish hearts which declared, “There
is no God.”
And
this is the conviction of the Christ:
Acts 1:3 “To whom also he shewed himself alive after his
passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking
of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:”
Acts 1:9 “And when he had spoken these things, while they
beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.”
Finally,
this is the judgement of their lesser god:
John 14:30 “Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the
prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.”
Colossians 2:15 “And having spoiled principalities and powers, he
made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.”
As their infarctions are many, the Holy
Spirit comes as a skilled surgeon.
Blockages in reasoning are no match for His gentle knife. He does not deride in blatant discreditation
unless their pride warrants.
