Q # 8214304

Question:

Dr. Hank, What does Jesus mean when he says in {John 15:22}”If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.” also in{15:24} when He says, “If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin:…” ????

Answer:

Here is Jesus, the ONLY SINLESS person who ever walked the earth. He very presence was such a contrast with others that the difference was like day and night. His presence brought an awareness of sin. The verse states, ‘…they had not sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.’ They had sin, but now were made aware of that sin so that they have no cloke for their sin.
