Greetings to you on this Wednesday morning, brother! Bless you and yours in the precious name of Jesus!
Read John 15:26 – 16:15
As we continue to read and examine these final words of Our Savior, remember that He has just conveyed that we can expect the world’s hatred and persecution. But in this passage, Jesus proclaims one of the glorious promises of God; that is, He will send the Helper, His Spirit, to be with us.
In today’s scripture, the Helper is detailed for us. As you read, take note of the following:
Jesus sends The Spirit from The Father.
The Spirit of Truth testifies of Jesus.
The Spirit is with us, even when we are persecuted and killed for our love of Jesus. The Spirit will keep us from stumbling during these trials.
The Helper convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgement.
The Spirit guides us in truth. And not just truth, but ALL truth.
Like Jesus, The Spirit speaks what He hears from The Father.
The Spirit provides revelation of things to come.
The Spirit glorifies Jesus.
Now, more than ever, all of us need The Helper. In this world, we need the relationship, the connection, the security, the confidence, the peace, and all of the other advantages that come with knowing and receiving The Spirit into our lives.
Lord Jesus, You made a promise that You would send The Helper from The Father to be with me. Holy Spirit, I receive You – fill me with Your power, with Your truth, and with Your revelation of all that our Good God has for me today, and forever! Amen!
