John 16:7-8
WELCOME
1. Good morning. Would you open your Bibles to John 16, verses 7 and 8.
2. Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment.

4. There is no man, woman, old, or young that has ever stepped foot on this earth that has been without sin...except for one. The Lord Jesus. Other than Jesus, all have been infected with sin. Again, J.C. Ryle says in Holiness, “Sin, in short, is tha ...
