John 14:15-19
If you love me, keep my [Jesus’] commands.
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.
Reflection
Shortly before Jesus’ death, he spoke these words to his disciples to provide comfort to his friends. Jesus knew he would not be with them much longer and he wanted them to know about the Holy Spirit that would be sent to them.
· How does knowing the Holy Spirit “lives with you and will be in you” impact your personal understanding and experience of God?
· How are you experiencing the Holy Spirit in your life?
