TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE

Notes on verse:

This verse, like (14:26), points to the supernatural revelation of all truth by which God has revealed Himself in Christ (verses 14-15) particularity. This is the subject of the inspired New Testament writings.

These disciples walking with Jesus had come to let Jesus make every decision for them. They had just carried out the things Jesus had told them to do. They had no cares; Jesus had taken care of the problems that arose. They just brought their problems to Jesus, and He solved them for them.

Now Jesus is telling them that they will not be left without guidance. The Holy Spirit will be their guide and their teacher. The Holy Spirit will be in total agreement with the Father and the Son. When the disciples listen to the Spirit and act accordingly, it is like the Lord in action, for they (disciples), will be carrying out His work.
