😳😳 John 16:7 Jesus Christ said it's to your advantage that I go away ‼️

It is to your advantage that I go away: This had to be difficult for the disciples to believe. When a loved one is near death we often think it is the best to let death take its course. We say, “It will be better for them to go, and to stop the suffering. It is to their advantage to go away.” But when someone we love is near death, we usually don’t think that it is to our advantage that they go. Yet Jesus here said that it wasn’t for His advantage, but to your advantage that I go away



i. If the disciples really understood what was about to happen, it would be even more difficult for them to believe.



· To your advantage that Jesus is arrested?



· To your advantage that Jesus’ ministry of teaching and miracles is stopped?



· To your advantage that Jesus is beaten?



· To your advantage that Jesus is mocked?



· To your advantage that Jesus is sentenced for execution?



· To your advantage that Jesus is nailed to a cross?



· To your advantage that Jesus dies in the company of notorious criminals?



· To your advantage that His lifeless body is laid in a cold grave?
