As our Lord Jesus Christ was about to
ascend into heaven he told his disciples in the gospel of John 16:12-15, “I have yet many things to say to
you, but you cannot bear them now." He then promised them the Holy Spirit
who will continue from where he stopped. The Holy Spirit will play the
following role: 1) He will guide us into the way of truth: "When the
Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth." 2) He will
speak for Christ: "...for he will not speak on his own authority, but
whatever he hears he will speak" 3) He will reveal future and hidden
things: "He will declare to you the things that are to come." 4) He
will bring glory to God: "He will glorify me" 5) He will connect us
to heavenly treasures: "He will take what is mine and declare it to you."
With this you can see that the mission Christ and that of the Holy Spirit are
the same. His mission is for our wellbeing and for our salvation. To him be
glory and praise both now and forevermore - Amen!

Message: In
truth, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are
One. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth whereas our Lord Jesus Christ is
the Truth that sets us free.
Prayer
for the Spirit of truth: Heavenly Father, your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,
assured us that it is only the truth that can set us free. Today, He promised
to send us the Spirit of truth. Through this Spirit of truth may you deliver us
from the spirit of lies and deception. Make us truthful as you are truthful.
Grant this through Christ our Lord - Amen!
