In this part of Jesus' discourse, He explains the role of the Holy Spirit in convicting the world about righteousness. Jesus' return to the Father marks the fulfillment of His mission on earth, demonstrating the ultimate righteousness that comes from God. His departure signifies a shift from the visible presence of Christ to the invisible work of the Holy Spirit, who will guide believers into all truth. This righteousness is not about adhering to laws or human standards but is about living in right relationship with God, as modeled by Jesus. The Holy Spirit helps believers understand and embody this divine righteousness, leading them to live lives that reflect God's love and truth. Jesus' ascension to the Father confirms His divine authority and the truth of His message, encouraging believers to trust in His promises and live by the Spirit's guidance.
