Summary
16 “A little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me.” 17 So some of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me’; and, ‘because I am going to the Father’?” 18 So they were saying, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We do not know what he is talking about.” 19 Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, “Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, ‘A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me’? 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy. 21 When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. 22 So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.

| 0:00.0 | Hello my friends and welcome back to the morning mindset. I hope you're ready to get your |
| 0:08.0 | minds allying with the truth of God and today we are bouncing back to the Gospel of John chapter 16. |
| 0:15.0 | We finished our little detour in the Book of Colossians looking more deeply at who Jesus is. |
| 0:20.0 | And the reason we did that is because in John chapter 16, Jesus said that the Holy Spirit's purpose, in large part, is to glorify Him. |
| 0:31.0 | And we wanted to dig in a little more deeply into why it's so important that the |
| 0:37.2 | Holy Spirit and that we glorify Jesus. And in Colossians we discovered it's because of who |
| 0:42.4 | Jesus is. |
| 0:43.3 | He is much more than most people conceive of. |
| 0:46.8 | So if you have not listened to those episodes from Colossians, |
| 0:50.0 | probably the last five or six, go back and do that. You will love hearing the truths about |
| 0:56.3 | who Jesus is. Now today we are going to continue hearing what Jesus was saying |
| 1:01.1 | to his disciples to prepare him for the days to come. |
| 1:05.0 | And what were those days? Well, it was days of hardship because Jesus was going to be |
| 1:08.8 | arrested, he was going to be tried, he was going to be crucified, and after being dead for three days he was going to rise |
| 1:15.6 | from the grave so a victorious ending to a very sad week for the disciples and |
| 1:20.3 | Jesus is trying to get them ready. And in verse 16 where we're going to pick up today in |
| 1:26.2 | John 16, Jesus says this, a little while and you will see me no longer. |
| 1:34.0 | And again a little while and you will see me. |
| 1:38.0 | So some of his disciples said to one another, |
| 1:41.0 | what is this that he says to us, a little while and you will not see me |
| 1:45.1 | and again a little while and you will see me? |
| 1:47.8 | And because I'm going to the father. |
