Bible in a Year: Song of Songs 1-3, Galatians 2

The Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things.
John 14:26

Today's Scripture & Insight: John 14:15-26

Dale Earnhardt Jr. describes the awful moment he understood his father was gone. Motor racing legend Dale Earnhardt Sr. had just been killed in a horrific crash at the end of the Daytona 500â€”a race in which Dale Jr. had also participated. "There's this noise coming outta me that I can't re-create," said the younger Earnhardt. "[It's] this bellow of shock and sorrowâ€”and fear." And then the lonely truth: "I'm gonna have to do this by myself."

"Having Dad was like having a cheat sheet," Earnhardt Jr. explained. "Having Dad was like knowing all the answers."

Jesus' disciples had learned to look to Him for all the answers. Now, on the eve of His crucifixion, He assured them He wouldn't leave them alone. "I will ask the Father," Jesus said, "and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you foreverâ€”the Spirit of truth" (John 14:16-17).

Jesus extended that comfort to all who would believe in Him. "Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching," He said. "My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them" (v. 23).

Those who choose to follow Christ have within them the Spirit who teaches them "all things" and reminds them of everything Jesus taught (v. 26). We don't have all the answers, but we have the Spirit of the One who does.

UNCOVERING EVIL

The presence of the supernatural power of God in a church can take that church beyond limits.
It can also uproot the presence of evil in the midst of Gods children. In Acts 5, a couple were uprooted through this. If we are going to sanitise the church, we need the Holy Spirit. Just as we need Him to heal, save...More
