Today we begin worship with:
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
When Jesus said this He was being very clear with His disciples as what was about to happen. One problem though:
“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.”
Even after three years of intense training, they were not ready for all that had to be taught. And in His compassion, Jesus would not go beyond what they could bear.
Praise God we do not have to “get it” the first time, or take hurried notes while the lecture continues, hoping to understand it during review.
The Spirit is there to teach and to remind.
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 that I have said to you.
So, pencils down. Close the notebook. For now, just worship.
