He is the propitiation for our sins … • We stand exposed before the bar of justice. • In a sense, your Advocate becomes you. • With Jesus, the plea for pardon is not mercy, but justice.

THE SECOND John 14:25-26 • The First Advocate is speaking to the Father for you. • The Second Advocates is speaking to you for the Father (and for you!). • The Law is now on our side, because we are lost in our First Advocate. • The Second Advocate helps us to see and respond to what the First Advocate has done (16:8-11).

  8. TWO ADVOCATES John 16:12-15 • Hear what the Second Advocate says about the First Advocate! • Jesus is savior because he is our first advocate. • You are a sinner – are you living with the humility and dependence on God that results from that fact? • You are also righteous in Christ – are you living with the boldness and freedom that results from that fact?
