The Defense No One Can Beat Well. Jn.16:7-11 I have news for all the Lawers in the world. There is one prosecutor even the best of this world cannot beat, and that is the Holy Spirit of God. Now, quite frankly, that is good news. Jesus said in John 16:7, "Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you." The Holy Spirit is God's public prosecutor who brings His case against the human race. Now there is a warning in order here. Every case the Holy Spirit tries, is open and shut. If he prosecutes He never loses. The evidence is airtight, His witnesses are impeccable, and He always gets a verdict of "guilty." This is, however, great news. For no one can go to heaven unless the Holy Spirit does His convicting work as God's prosecutor, and shows us our need for Jesus Christ. If you do not know that you are a sinner who needs the righteousness of Christ, without which you will face the judgement of God, you have no hope of going to heaven. Only the Holy Spirit can bring that truth to your heart. The Holy Spirit has been sent by the Lord Jesus Christ to throw the lantern of truth into your face. He has come to tell you that (1) you are a sinner, (2) you need Jesus Christ, and (3) if you refuse Him you will face the certain judgment of God. But you can settle your case out of court. You can let the Lord Jesus take your case. You can make the Prosecutor your friend. You can even make the Judge your father, and spend eternity with God in heaven if you will just listen to the Holy Spirit of God.
