Good morning. But when He the Spirit of truth comes, He will
guide you into all the truth; but He will not speak on His own initiative, but
whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.
He is the Spirit of truth. That means that whatever He says, we can trust. He
will also guide us into all the truth, if we let Him. He is constantly
listening to the Father as to what He should say. If we listen to Him, we will
know what is about to come upon us. However too often we just want to do it our
own way. He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to
you. All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of
Mine and will disclose it to you. A little while, and you will no longer see
Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me. Those are actually two different
Greek words translated “see“. It sounds like double talk; at least that’s what
the disciples thought. You will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice;
you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy. You too have grief now; but I will see (the
second see) you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your
joy away from you. Of course none of them remembered that after Jesus was
crucified. We cannot fault them for that. Even when we know that we are going
to see our loved ones again, it doesn’t soften the fact that they are gone.
Father thank You that the Holy Spirit guides us into all the truth. Help us to
listen to that truth and follow it.
Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God
Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...
