Promise of Jesus 120: Teach all things

120. Teach all Things

 John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

 Jesus promises the Comforter, the Holy Spirit. He will teach me all things and bring all things to my remembrance. This promise came literally true for these disciples who remembered “whatsoever I have said unto you.” The Holy Spirit would call to their minds the words of Jesus, words that they could not understand before His resurrection.

The same promise applies to us also even though we were not present to hear the words Jesus said; the Apostles wrote down what Jesus said to them with the aid of HS who remembered for them. Thus we have the New Testament. The Comforter will call these words to our minds and bring them to our remembrance when we need to believe them and apply them to today. This does assume that we have heard and read the words of Jesus in the Bible so that they are somewhere in our minds ready for recall.

Not only will the Comforter remind us of the Word of God, but He will also teach us the meaning of the Word and apply it to the problems and needs of the day. It is one thing to know the words; it is another thing to know the meaning; it is yet another thing to apply the meaning to the present situation.

The promise is given so that we might avail ourselves of this wonderful tool more often than we do. We can listen to HS and learn of Him; in this way He Comforts.
