 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there. John 11, 15.

1 Kings 8, 27. Eph. 4, 9. 10.

First, that He is our Advocate in the presence of His father in heaven. Secondly, that we have our flesh in heaven, as a sure pledge, that He, as the Head, will also take us, His members, up to Himself. Thirdly, that He sends us His Spirit, as an earnest, by whose power we seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God, and not things on the earth.

And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 1 John 2, 1.

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you. John 16, 7
