John 14:25-27
25 “All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Advocate, 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. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.



Reflection
This week we are talking about how the Holy Spirit teaches us. In this scripture from the Gospel of John, Jesus promises the gift of the Holy Spirit. One important part of the gift that we are given is that the Holy Spirit brings remembrance to the words of Christ. Have you ever read or heard a scripture and it was exactly what you needed? This is the work of the Spirit bringing us the right word from God when we need it. How have you witnessed this gift of the Spirit in your life?
