“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.” -John 14:26 (ESV)
We can find in the Gospel of John the words Jesus spoke during their last Passover together. Jesus was giving his last words with hope and blessing to the disciples. One of the precious promises is that He is going to ask God the Father to give them another Helper (John 14:16). A Helper who will be with them forever. Jesus was leaving after being with them all this time for three years. This Helper, the Holy Spirit, will take Jesus' place as a constant companion. He is given only to those who know and believe in Jesus as the Son of God. In our verse Jesus promises the Holy Spirit, sent from the Father in the Son’s name will teach them all things. He will bring to their remembrance all Jesus had taught them and all Jesus had said and done. For three years they had listened to Jesus with no minutes taken down to record every word. But now, as they will go forth and will be the ones to write the God-breathed books of the New Testament (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Jesus is promising the Holy Spirit will inspire their recollection accurately of all they are to write.
