Well folks, Jesus had a lot to say in John 16. He told his disciples that he was going away, but don't worry - he was gonna send them a helper, the Holy Spirit. He went on to tell them that they'd be persecuted and hated, but they should take comfort in the fact that he had overcome the world. He also said that He was the truth and they should keep that truth in their hearts. Finally, He said they should ask in faith and they'll receive what they need. So, in summary, Jesus said: "Hey, don't worry - I'm gonna send you a helper, you're gonna get persecuted and hated, remember the truth, and ask for stuff and you'll get it." Sounds like a solid plan to me!
