In the Gospel of John, today’s reading appears as part of the rather lengthy Last Supper discourse that runs from chapter 13 to chapter 17. The discourse is a centrepiece of this particular gospel. In it, Jesus speaks a number of times about the coming of the Holy Spirit. The portion that makes up today’s reading comes from a slightly longer passage about the sending of the Spirit (16:4-15).

Throughout the Last Supper discourse, the Holy Spirit is identified as Gift and Love. The Spirit is the Gift that will be sent by the Father and by the Son so that the world may continue to experiencethe Love of the Father and the Son. In the discourse, Jesus calls on the disciples to love one anotherwith the same love that they had experienced from him – the love of God. To assist the disciplesto continue to love with the same love of God and Jesus, the Spirit is sent to them. The Holy Spiritis the lasting expression of the divine love that had previously been experienced through the Fatherand the Son. The discourse makes it very clear that the Spirit will continue the work of Jesus.

Today’s passage has Jesus saying to the disciples that there is still so much that he has to say to them, to teach them. But the disciples are not ready to receive everything in the time that Jesus has remaining. So to continue the teaching of Jesus and to continue the expression of Love, the Fatherand the Son will send the Spirit. It was the sending of the Spirit that we celebrated last week in thefeast of Pentecost and it is the unity of Father, Son and Spirit that we celebrate this week in Trinity Sunday.
