In the last evening that Jesus would spend with his disciples before the cross, he began to disclose new information to them. He told them that the time was approaching for him to go away but that he would send them another Comforter. He then gave glimpses into what the work the Spirit would do in the world and in believers, even telling them that it was for their benefit that he go away. They couldn’t possibly fathom how it would be more beneficial for them that he go away, but Jesus said the Comforter would not come unless he went away.
