There was a special way in which this was fulfilled at Pentecost. But it is still a general truth,
present work of
Holy Spirit, The Comforter.
1. He was to convict
world of
sin of unbelief. This is
root of all sin. But here it is especially
sin of not believing on The Lord Jesus Christ. He came with signs and mighty wonders, and they believed not. The Spirit thru Peter reproved Israel at Pentecost. They were pricked in their heart.
2. He was to convict or convince
world of
Lord's righteousness. And this was by
good news of His resurrection and ascension. This was proof of His righteousness. His offering Himself on Calvary was accepted by His resurrection from
dead.
3. And
further and final step was that He would reprove
world of their judgment of
Son of God,
Prince of this world. They had judged Him and cast Him out. They killed
Prince of peace,
Prince of life. And when reproved, they said, Men and brethren, what shall we do? They realized then and there that they had crucified
One Whom God had now made both Lord and Christ.
The convicting message of The Comforter' yet today is to believe (John 3:16); that
Lord was raised from
dead; and that He is seated with
Father in His throne.
