All that the Father has is mine John 16:12-15

wITH gUEST rev scott cadman

John 16:12-15 I have much more to say to you, but right now it would be more than you could understand. (13) The Spirit shows what is true and will come and guide you into the full truth. The Spirit doesn't speak on his own. He will tell you only what he has heard from me, and he will let you know what is going to happen. (14) The Spirit will bring glory to me by taking my message and telling it to you. (15) Everything that the Father has is mine. That is why I have said that the Spirit takes my message and tells it to you.

Reminder of background in John


We don’t understand what he’s saying.” John 16:18


All that the Father has is mine. – John 16:15

MINE!


King David

Prodigal son


God's mine is different from our own!


It is all based in how God, the Father, Son and Spirit, relate to each. The relationship they have among themselves is the antidote to a possessiveness that is self-centred and threatens to consume us and the world we live in. The hallmarks of this relationship are delight, pouring out, generosity, self-sacrificing love and rejoicing.

In this we see the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in this constant circular dance.

It’s a dance of life and love that is never-ending as each person adoringly waltzes with every other person in a divine eagerness to make known to the world the riches of one another


it’s your existence I love you for.


All that the Father has is mine. is not possessive


What would it mean to see all our possessions not as ours but for the joy and delight of others.
