John 16:12-15
12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”
Reflection
Our scripture reminds us that our constant companion in
hermeneutics is the Holy Spirit. It is important to remember the author, context, genre, and purpose of varying scriptures, but it is always God through the Holy spirit that can lead us to truth. Is it comforting to you to know that the Holy Spirit is there to help you interpret Scripture? Why?
