John 13-17 (The Daily Walk Bible).

Jesus prays for us! “I am praying…for all who will ever believe in me” (17:20). And a part of his prayer is for us to have another Helper (14:26) in our lives : the Holy Spirit. Why do we need His ministry? Here is what R. A. Torrey had to say about the Spirit and His ministry as revealed in the Bible (and especially in John):

1. Proceeds from the Father. Joh 15:26.
2. Given
   a. By the Father. Joh 14:16.

3. Sent in the name of Christ. Joh 14:26.
4. Sent by Christ from the Father. Joh 15:26; 16:7.
5. As such he
   a. Communicates joy to saints. Ro 14:17; Ga 5:22; 1 Th 1:6.
