But notice Jesus says, 168 00:07:49.545 --> 00:07:52.525 line:15% I will pray the Father. The word, pray, in Greek 169 00:07:52.525 --> 00:07:53.785 line:15% is the word erotao. 170 00:07:53.785 --> 00:07:56.445 line:15% It is a legal term and interesting, 171 00:07:56.445 --> 00:07:58.525 line:15% it is the word which is most often used 172 00:07:58.525 --> 00:08:02.085 line:15% to depict the prayer life of Jesus in the gospels. 173 00:08:02.085 --> 00:08:06.825 line:15% It was a legal term which meant the disciple's need 174 00:08:06.825 --> 00:08:10.385 line:15% of the Holy Spirit was so serious that Jesus was going 175 00:08:10.385 --> 00:08:14.685 line:15% to present a legal case to the Father. 176 00:08:14.685 --> 00:08:19.245 line:15% The case would be so concrete, Jesus' case would be so clear 177 00:08:19.245 --> 00:08:21.865 line:15% and unmistakable that the Father would respond 178 00:08:21.865 --> 00:08:25.945 line:15% to Jesus' legal demand by sending the comforter 179 00:08:25.945 --> 00:08:29.505 line:15% to help anybody who calls upon his name. 180 00:08:29.505 --> 00:08:33.206 line:15% And notice also in John 14:16, Jesus said, 181 00:08:33.206 --> 00:08:36.746 line:15% I will pray the Father and He will give. Those words, shall 182 00:08:36.746 --> 00:08:37.926 line:15% give, are very important 183 00:08:37.926 --> 00:08:41.306 line:15% because it tells us the Holy Spirit is not something we earn 184 00:08:41.306 --> 00:08:42.766 line:15% or something we disturb. 185 00:08:42.766 --> 00:08:45.006 line:15% It is the Father's gift. 186 00:08:45.006 --> 00:08:48.126 line:15% The Holy Spirit is the Father's gift to the church 187 00:08:48.126 --> 00:08:50.586 line:15% and the Holy Spirit is the Father's gift to you. 188 00:08:50.586 --> 00:08:54.586 line:15% This is why Peter said in Acts 2:38, 189 00:08:54.586 --> 00:08:59.046 line:15% that the Holy Spirit to us is the gift of the Holy Spirit. 190 00:08:59.046 --> 00:09:01.666 line:15% My friends, a gift has to be explored. 191 00:09:01.666 --> 00:09:02.906 line:15% It has to be unwrapped. 192 00:09:02.906 --> 00:09:05.306 line:15% So many believers have the Holy Spirit living in them 193 00:09:05.306 --> 00:09:07.106 line:15% and they don't even know who they have 194 00:09:07.106 --> 00:09:09.806 line:15% because they've never unwrapped the package. 195 00:09:09.806 --> 00:09:13.226 line:15% But God has given us the Holy Spirit as a gift. 196 00:09:13.226 --> 00:09:17.066 line:15% But notice also in John 14:16, Jesus said, 197 00:09:17.066 --> 00:09:20.586 line:15% I will pray the Father and He will give you another 198 00:09:20.586 --> 00:09:22.366 line:15% comforter. If you have an ink pen 199 00:09:22.366 --> 00:09:23.666 line:15% or a pencil, either underlined 200 00:09:23.666 --> 00:09:27.606 line:15% or circled that word, another, in verse 16. In Greek, 201 00:09:27.606 --> 00:09:29.906 line:15% it is the word, allos. 202 00:09:29.906 --> 00:09:31.566 line:15% Now, when you read this in the Greek text, 203 00:09:31.566 --> 00:09:33.846 line:15% there were 2-words that Jesus could have used 204 00:09:33.846 --> 00:09:35.586 line:15% for the word - another. 205 00:09:35.586 --> 00:09:37.546 line:15% The first is the word, allos. 206 00:09:37.546 --> 00:09:39.666 line:15% That is the word that Jesus uses. 207 00:09:39.666 --> 00:09:42.106 line:15% The second word he could have used is the 208 00:09:42.106 --> 00:09:43.746 line:15% Greek word heteros. 209 00:09:43.746 --> 00:09:45.966 line:15% The word heteros doesn't just mean another, 210 00:09:45.966 --> 00:09:50.246 line:15% it means another of a completely different kind: heteros. 211 00:09:50.246 --> 00:09:52.766 line:15% It's where you get the term for a heterosexual. 212 00:09:52.766 --> 00:09:55.947 line:15% Two sexes of a totally different kind. 213 00:09:55.947 --> 00:09:59.127 line:15% And if Jesus had used the word heteros, 214 00:09:59.127 --> 00:10:00.767 line:15% it would have meant I will pray the Father. 215 00:10:00.767 --> 00:10:02.747 line:15% He's going to send you somebody else. 216 00:10:02.747 --> 00:10:05.647 line:15% And when he shows up, you won't know him. 217 00:10:05.647 --> 00:10:07.207 line:15% He'll be totally different. 218 00:10:07.207 --> 00:10:10.127 line:15% You'll have no previous experience with anybody like him. 219 00:10:10.127 --> 00:10:12.867 line:15% He'll be somebody totally unknown to you. 220 00:10:12.867 --> 00:10:15.707 line:15% It will be a mystery to you that you don't understand. 221 00:10:15.707 --> 00:10:18.107 line:15% Heteros: he'll be totally different than me, 222 00:10:19.327 --> 00:10:21.647 line:15% but that's not the word Jesus used. 223 00:10:21.647 --> 00:10:23.707 line:15% Jesus used the Greek word, allos. 224 00:10:24.887 --> 00:10:28.067 line:15% Allos you say: What does the word allos mean? The word allos 225 00:10:28.067 --> 00:10:31.987 line:15% means another of the very same kind. 226 00:10:31.987 --> 00:10:36.987 line:15% It could be translated: identical, just like the other. 227 00:10:37.067 --> 00:10:40.427 line:15% The word, anotherr, conveys this idea. 228 00:10:40.427 --> 00:10:41.567 line:15% I will pray the Father 229 00:10:41.567 --> 00:10:45.927 line:15% and he will send you somebody who is just like me 230 00:10:45.927 --> 00:10:48.207 line:15% in every way. 231 00:10:48.207 --> 00:10:51.667 line:15% The word allos, which Jesus uses in this verse, 232 00:10:51.667 --> 00:10:54.847 line:15% means the Holy Spirit will be identical to me in the way 233 00:10:54.847 --> 00:10:57.707 line:15% that I speak, in the way that I think, in the way 234 00:10:57.707 --> 00:11:00.107 line:15% that I operate, in the way that I see things, in the way 235 00:11:00.107 --> 00:11:04.247 line:15% that I do things, he will be exactly like me in every way. 236 00:11:04.247 --> 00:11:06.527 line:15% When the Holy Spirit is present, 237 00:11:06.527 --> 00:11:10.947 line:15% it will be like I am still there because he is just like me. 238 00:11:10.947 --> 00:11:15.327 line:15% If you have him, you'll feel like I am still there with you 239 00:11:15.327 --> 00:11:18.887 line:15% because we think the same, we behave the same, 240 00:11:18.887 --> 00:11:20.247 line:15% we operate the same. 241 00:11:20.247 --> 00:11:21.908 line:15% Jesus said that he 242 00:11:21.908 --> 00:11:26.268 line:15% and the Holy Spirit were identical in every way. 243 00:11:26.268 --> 00:11:29.088 line:15% So if you have the Holy Spirit, 244 00:11:29.088 --> 00:11:31.408 line:15% it is like you still have Jesus. 245 00:11:31.408 --> 00:11:35.228 line:15% Now, Jesus demonstrated this teaching a little bit earlier 246 00:11:35.228 --> 00:11:40.068 line:15% in John 14 after Philip said to Jesus - 247 00:11:40.068 --> 00:11:43.728 line:15% Show us the Father and it suffices us.
