Who Understands Faith?
Stephen's Arrest and Speech
John 16:12-15
The Message
12-15 “I
still have many things to tell you, but you can’t handle them now. But
when the Friend comes, the Spirit of the Truth, he will take you by the
hand and guide you into all the truth there is. He won’t draw attention
to himself, but will make sense out of what is about to happen and,
indeed, out of all that I have done and said. He will honor me; he will
take from me and deliver it to you. Everything the Father has is also
mine. That is why I’ve said, ‘He takes from me and delivers to you.’
For Reflection
As
in all things there is timing. The knowledge of God and from God is
discovered as it is needed to be known. The all of God is more
information than one can handle. As we mature as a faithful person
and, for that matter, as a human race, we discover more and more of God
and God's universe. What is needed to be known as a child is far less
complicated and complete as what is needed as we mature. Some times,
such knowledge arrives in clouded and mysterious ways as though looking
at the world through carnival mirrors. Prayer, study of scripture and
interaction with the fellowship of believers will help clarify and
interpret God.
Pray
for
the guiding hand of God as you discover new and exciting aspects of
God's universe. Pray for the wisdom to listen to God's will as you
explore tomorrow's wilderness.
