concerning righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer — the world judges righteousness by visible, earthly success and power; yet Jesus' righteousness is manifested in his willingness to leave all power behind and submit to death. His righteousness is revealed in his departure, not in his triumph. The Spirit convicts the world that true righteousness is not what the world sees but what faith perceives: Jesus' self-gift on behalf of the world.
