Jesus, in this chapter of John is giving His disciples the instructions that will carry them through the trials and tribulations that He knew they would have to face because of their following of and belief in Jesus as the Son of GOD.
So Jesus first gives them the "good news" that He is sending the Holy Spirit, the Counsellor, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth to them.
Why would they need the Spirit of Truth?
Why do we all need the Spirit of Truth?
The Spirit of Truth is the Holy Spirit. As we grow in our faith, we need to be constantly convicted of the Truth. We need to move away from the lies and deception of the world around us. This is especially true for Christ followers who are being or are going to be persecuted, as Jesus knew His disciples were going to be.
The Holy Spirit guides us and shows us the Truth. He lives in each and every believer of Jesus Christ. The more our faith grows, the more we know the Truth. The more we begin to understand the character and nature of our FATHER in Heaven.
We need to listen to the Holy Spirit and we need to guided by the Holy Spirit and this should be asked for fervently in all our prayers.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU for my Redeemer Jesus Christ. FATHER, I thank YOU that the Holy Spirit lives in me. FATHER, please let YOUR will be done in my life through the conviction of the truth in me by the Holy Spirit. This I humbly pray in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay amazingly Jesus Blessed today!
