Categories: Don’s Daily Devotions
Read John 16:12-15
V12: In fact His earthly ministry to them is almost at an end. Surely, the “many things” yet to be said, which they cannot yet ‘bear‘ ( understand ) points to the ministry of the Spirit after Pentecost, and to the completion of Scripture under His inspiration.
V13: Jesus confirms this, the Spirit of ( God’s revealed ) Truth teaches with the full authority of God, and will reveal what is yet to come – so, the whole NT. through which the Spirit reveals and seals God’s truth.
V14: He will glorify not Himself but Christ. ( Some Christians seem to get this balance wrong!) He will bring back to them and apply the things Jesus has taught – and does so still today through His Word.
V15: Again, the Oneness of Father and Son, and of course the Spirit whose direct ministry this is, who opens hearts to receive the teaching of Jesus which is from His Father.
