Job Description, and He's Not Kiddin'

The Words of 
Jesus the Christ,
the Son of God:

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. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.-John 16:7-15***After Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, washed the feet of his disciples, he told the twelve disciples that one of them was going to betray him. Shortly thereafter, Jesus gave a piece of bread to Judas Iscariot  and spoke to him. Judas Iscariot left, and Jesus spoke to the remaining 11 disciples about his upcoming departure. Jesus commanded the disciples to love one another, and Jesus said he was going to prepare a place for them and would come back and receive them. Jesus told the 11 disciples that they would not be alone, that his Father, the Lord God in heaven, would give the disciples another Advocate, another Comforter, the Spirit of truth. The Advocate, the Holy Spirit, would teach the disciples and bring to their memories the words they had heard from Jesus. Jesus told the disciples that the Holy Spirit would testify about him, and the disciples were to bear witness of Jesus. Approximately 30 years before the disciples began following Jesus, Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the Israelite tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. On the 8th day after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was circumcised. Approximately 30 years thereafter, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist. John the Baptist saw the Holy Spirit descend as a dove and alight upon Jesus, and the Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. For 40 days Jesus fasted and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites. Less than 3 1/2 years after Jesus was baptized, Jesus was betrayed, arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by many people, and returned to heaven.-Genesis 11:26-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts
