The Gospel of John - Trust the Spirit

Read John 16:12-15

[Jesus said] “There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can’t bear it now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth.” - John 16:12-13a (NLT)


Since we are not yet in heaven, we are not ready for “all knowledge.” So the Holy Spirit brings us along gradually, according to what the Son tells him we can bear at this time. Our job is to trust the Spirit’s guidance, to count on the Spirit telling us enough to handle our present situation, and in the future tell us more as we need it.
