John 16:5-7 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

          5Now, however, I am going to Him who sent Me; yet none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’
          6Instead, your hearts are filled with sorrow because I have told you these things.
          7But I tell you the truth, it is for your benefit that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
