“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 14:16 (ESV)
After Jesus left the disciples and returned to heaven to be with the Father, how did they manage to remember all that Jesus had taught them? There are many blessings we receive from God because His Son, Jesus Christ, willingly gave up his life after three years of ministry on the earth. He gave his life and suffered in our place a death we deserved. One of the blessings we can be thankful for is the indwelling of God the Holy Spirit. Our promise today was first to His disciples whom Jesus is with for their last Passover together. Jesus’ sacrifice brought his death, His burial. His resurrection from death on the third day after His crucifixion – as He had promised. All that He asked for on behalf of His disciples; was also asked for all who would come to believe as a result of their testimony.(John 17:2-21) A promise in this verse is for the Holy Spirit, sent from the Father in Jesus’ name to all believers, would bring to the disciples’ remembrance all that Jesus had taught them. This is the ministry of the Holy Spirit, He reveals to us the understanding we need of God's revelations.
