John 14: 25 - 26
And these things I have spoken to you while being present with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things I said to you.
This was spoken by Jesus on Maundy Thursday evening in the Upper Room, the night He was to be betrayed. I believe that of the three persons of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, is the one most Christians know the least about. You are learning from these different passages in John, that Jesus told the disciples a whole lot about this Helper that was to come. Not only about His character, but His specific reasons for coming here. His character, He will never leave or forsake us, He will make the truth known to us; He will in dwell in us. All of the promises are very powerful. Then, you add to that, He will teach us all things, and bring to our remembrance all the things Jesus told them (the disciples) and us through His Word the Bible. You have to remember that at the time Jesus spoke these words, they were not written down yet. The disciples had to trust in their hearing and remembering only. We have Jesus' Words written down, so that we can re-read them anytime we want, this makes the Holy Spirit's power for teaching us that much stronger. Have you asked the Holy Spirit to help you understand God's Word? That is His job! He will, if you ask. Start getting to know the Holy Spirit better today!!
