John 14:26-27
“But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” NIV
Christ provides a beautiful reminder here. The hearts of the disciples were no doubt troubled because they didn’t understand all that Jesus was telling them. He was speaking of leaving them and God’s entire plan had not yet been made clear to them.
I love how Jesus describes the Holy Spirit here, “The Friend, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send at my request, will make everything clear to you. He will remind you of all the things I have told you.” MSG
I don’t believe that I have ever focused on that. I’m not certain that I consciously recognized that one of the key roles of the Holy Spirit is to remind us of the teachings of Christ.
That’s pretty powerful … and certainly a reminder not to worry.
I’ll have to think about that today.
