The truth or the world

Joh 14:16  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
Joh 14:17  Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Jesus will PRAY the FATHER, Jesus will petition the FATHER,  Jesus wants the FATHER to give us ANOTHER Comforter. Jesus KNOWS that He will be in heaven beside His Father after He is raised from the grave days after His death. Jesus  knows He won't be on earth to be with followers, and Jesus knows they will NEED another Comforter, One who will be with us forever.  Jesus knows that we will need the Spirit of TRUTH. Jesus knows the WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE the Spirit of Truth. The WORLD cannot see the TRUTH, or KNOW the TRUTH.  We CAN know the TRUTH, because the TRUTH will be with us, the TRUTH will be in us.

So are we of the world or of Christ?

If we are of the world we cannot know the truth, and if we can't know the truth, we cannot be Christ's.

Where does the world rank with us?

1Co 2:14  But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Who rules you? The natural man or the Spirit?

We need truth! We need Christ! We need another Comforter.

Please Father, please help us to choose YOU over all the world has to offer us!

Please Father, we would be YOURS!

Please Father.

Jesus, Your only begotten Son prayed for us, please hear His prayer and give us Another Comforter, the Spirit of Truth!


All in HIS NAME!
