December 22, 2019: SOAP #3671:  John 12-14

Scripture:  John (NIV) 14:25 “All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Counsellor, 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.

Observation:  Recently I was watching a news program on television and noticed how they were able to play comments various politicians had previously made.  The technology available today should make every politician careful in speaking. Many politicians have said things they now regret.  They have switched their stance on various subjects and now they would like us and the news media to forget what they previously said!

No so with Jesus.  He wants us to remember “everything” He has said.  He has even sent the Holy Spirit to “remind” us of “everything” Jesus has told us!

Application:  Jesus is “the way, the truth, and the life.”  He always has and always will speak truth.  It is good for me to carefully read and remember the Bible.  The better I know God’s word, the better I will be able to recognize God speaking to me and the better I will be able to remember and understand what He is saying to me.

Prayer:  Holy Spirit, as I open my heart and mind to the scriptures each day, speak to me, help me remember, and grant me understanding.  Amen
