Daily Word Of God
John 16:12-15
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘I still have many things to say to you but they would be too much for you to bear now. However, when the Spirit of truth comes he will lead you to the complete truth, since he will not be speaking of his own accord, but will say only what he has been told; and he will reveal to you the things to come.
‘He will glorify me, since all he reveals to you will be taken from what is mine. Everything the Father has is mine; that is why I said: all he reveals to you will be taken from what is mine.’
Today's Pointers on God's Word
As you read the passage what words, phases or meanings caught your attention?
- The Spirit of God will always lead us to the “complete Truth” and glorify Jesus in every way.
- Reflect on the way you live your daily life, your attitude towards the poor and needy, the Commandments of the Church, the revelation of the Bible and the like.
- If you are at peace with these “Truths” and are living Christ-like lives, then you can be sure that we are guided by the Spirit. Otherwise, we are likely guided by our own ego, pride or self-centeredness. What is Our Lord saying to you today?
