He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.  All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.  John 16:14-15

There is a lot of confusion in the church today when it comes to the work of the Holy Spirit, but Scripture clearly teaches that His primary role is not so much to bring something new as it is His role to magnify and glorify the Lord Jesus.  Jesus told His disciples that when the Holy Spirit comes, he will direct people to Him and present to them His completed works.  

Jesus says, “He’s going to take what is mine and declare it to you.”  He says, “He is going to take who I am and the works I’m going to accomplish for you and is going to make these truths clear to you.”  That is primarily what the Spirit does.  

Yet, the work He does is also very important because, without it, we would be without salvation.  Scripture is clear, that it is the Spirit who opens our blind eyes and softens our calloused hearts and transforms our broken lives.  This work is what enables us to see the beauty of Christ and respond to Him in faith.
