John 16:12-22
In hearing the Gospel for today it is imperative that we remember the context in which Jesus first spoke those words. He said at the time that there were things his disciples could not bear to hear. But I say to you, you can bear them. Why? Because the circumstances are different now. We are post-resurrection rather than pre-resurrection when Jesus spoke the words. Today we will talk about the things that have changed and that secure our joy; a joy that cannot be taken from us.
