## Resource

Christ has introduced his disciples to the inner workings of the trinity and what must take place in the near future so that God’s will might be fulfilled. At the end of our last episode, we had a brief introduction to the Holy Spirit, whom Christ calls “the Counselor.” Today, Jesus says that he must return to the Father, because if he doesn’t go away, the Counselor will not come. Later, he explains to his disciples that they will be sad for a while, but their sorrow will be turned to joy, for he will see them again. His disciples we endure hardship and persecution, but Christ encourages them by reminding them to be courageous, for he has conquered the world.
