Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And the Comforter is better for us than the personal presence of Christ. We do not always think so; but it is true. It is better for the Church to have the Holy Spirit in...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: The world is not as yet convinced, but it is convicted; though it does not own its guilt, there is more than sufficient evidence to prove it guilty in the sight of God.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: What, a Comforter reprove? Yes. The Holy Spirit never comforts till he has reproved.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Of sin, because they believe not on me; What must be the depth of human wickedness that sinners will not accept a Divine Saviour! This is the crowning, crushing proof of human guilt: “They believe not on me.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Of sin, because they believe not on me; The greatest sin in all the world is, not believing on Jesus. Our Lord did not say, “Of sin, because of the evil of drunkenness.” That is a great sin, a cursed sin, and there are other great sins; but Christ said, “Of sin, because they believe not on me.” That is the root sin, the foundation sin, the sin...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Christ was righteous, the righteous One, whom men rejected, for he has gone up to the Fathers side, where he could not have been if he had not perfected righteousness. The very going back of Christ to the Father’s throne proves that righteousness does exist, and convicts men of...

Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; It is God’s righteousness that takes Christ up to heaven. He has been here; he has lived a perfect life; he has died a sacrificial death; and God has shown his acceptance of him, for he has gone to his reward.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

The risen and glorified Saviour is the great testimony to the righteousness both of Christ and of his gospel.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. The gospel judges him, and dethrones him; and as there has been a judgment of the world’s king, so there will be a judgment of the world itself.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. When Christ came here, there was a crisis, a judgment; and sin was judged and condemned; and the prince of the world, the chief sinner in the world, received his death-blow: “the prince of this world is judged.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. Christ has already judged the prince of the powers of evil, so you may depend upon it that he will also judge all those who are under the dominion of the traitor prince who has usurped his Master’s position and authority. Christ has summoned the dread lord of evil to his bar, and judged him....
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Some teachers overload their hearers with truth till I might truly say that they pile on the agony.
