THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH

Scripture:  John 16:13. 14 “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.  He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.”

    Here the Lord is teaching his disciples some things about the Holy Spirit. He refers to him as, the Spirit of truth.  He tells us 3 things in this passage that he will do when he comes.  
    First of all he will guide us into all truth.  Jesus in chapter 14 of this book tells us that He is the way, the truth and the life.  So the Spirit of God, when he comes is going to guide us to Jesus.  If He is the Truth, and He is, then the Spirit of Truth’s purpose is to guide us to Jesus and to all that He is.  "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me" (John 15:26).
    Secondly, we are told that he will show us things to come. He will reveal to us the truth about the future.  He knows what lies ahead and He will guide us and show us as we travel this Way.  "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God" (1 Cor. 2:9-10).
     Then, thirdly, we are told that when he is comes he will glorify Jesus.  He’s not coming to magnify himself.  He’s not coming to draw attention to himself.  He wants no glory for himself, but only, in all that he says and does, to bring glory and honor to the Lord Jesus Christ.  When the Spirit of Truth fills your life, you will be doing the same thing!
