The Spirit interceeds

Saturday June 6th, John 15: 8 When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; 10 in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; 11 and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned. One of the jobs of the Spirit is to convict us of our sin. It is not for us to convict “Others” of their sins. When we try to live our lives focus on the sins of others, we keep chipping away at life, forcing ourselves into an ever smaller and smaller world. In convicting us of “our” sins, especially the one of making the world smaller and smaller we find ourselves at the foot of the cross looking up at Christ. It is there we find salvation. The Spirit leads us to Christ by removing the scales of sin from our eyes.
