We continue this verse-by-verse study of John chapters 13-17 here in Part 7, starting with John 16:10.
(10) and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me [[The primary idea here is that, even though the Jews (the world) had condemned Jesus to death for His supposed sinfulness against God, the fact that He was resurrected and went back to the Father, to sit at His right hand, effectively demonstrated His righteousness, His righteousness according to verdict of the ultimate Judge, God the Father. ((I had a footnote: Many Jews, including the apostles, testified to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ (cf. Luke 24:1-53; John 20:1-21:25; 1 Cor. 15:4-8; also see Matt. 27:51-53), and the apostles (and apparently other disciples) even saw Jesus ascend from the Mount of Olives in a glory cloud when He returned to the Father (Luke 24:50, 51; Acts 1:9-12). The fact that Christ was reigning at the Father's right hand was manifested in many ways, starting with His pouring forth the promised gift of the Spirit on the day of Pentecost.)) If He was righteous, which He certainly was, then they must have been seriously blinded by the god of this world and in serious bondage to sin (and in desperate need of the Savior) since they rejected the Righteous One as a sinner (cf., e.g., Acts 2:14-42; 3:13-15; and 7:51-60). Satan, the god of this world, was actively involved in the murder of Christ Jesus (cf. Luke 22:3-6; John 13:2, 27; 14:30; and 1 Cor. 2:8).
Christ is the Righteous One, and He has the authority to make alive (starting with the new birth) and make righteous those who submit to Him and the gospel in faith (cf., e.g., John 1:12, 13, 33; 3:1-21; 5:19-29; 7:39; Rom. 6:1-23; 8:1-17; and 1 Pet. 2:24). Christ imputes and imparts His righteousness (the righteousness of God) to believers.]]; (11) and concerning judgment [or, "condemnation
