Jesus, continuing His Farewell Discourse, displays great love and care for his disciples. He explains the nature of His campaign so that His disciples will not be confused or offended about the things that are about to happen to him and to them. He prepares the disciples so that they can grasp their role in His coming Kingdom, and equips them with the promise of the power and comfort of the Holy Spirit. In the same way, today, Jesus wants his disciples to understand his campaign and to participate, by His Spirit, in the transformational work of the Kingdom of God.
