What the Holy Spirit Does

From the Cantate Gospel:
I will send [the Helper] to you. And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment. (John 16:7-11)

From the Exaudi Gospel:
But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. (John 15:26)


When the Holy Spirit comes, what does He do? Convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment? Or testify of Jesus? Are those two distinct jobs? Or are they the SAME thing? Could it be that the way the Holy Ghost convicts the world is by testifying to what Jesus has done?




Cantate = fourth Sunday after Easter
Exaudi = sixth Sunday after Easter
