Week 15 - The Journey Day 5
""If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always, the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot accept, because it neither sees nor knows it. But you know it, because it remains with you, and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you." John 14:15-18
The Blessed Trinity, can we separate the Trinity? It is a mystery that goes beyond our intellect but in studying the words that Jesus gives us, He ties it all together. Never fully comprehended but it isn't on our own power that we gain insight but thru the Spirit of truth. "The Father and I are one."" John 10:30. "If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him."" John 14:7. "I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. John 14:18
So we can not have One without the other, they work in unison. Our lives are witness to the truth for you can not live out the truth without embracing Truth. The Jews could not accept Jesus at His word even though multiple times He witnessed to the power of
God. The disciples could not fully understand the truth until the Spirit of truth revealed Himself to them. The scriptures came alive to them as they pondered the events of their day and Jesus entered in thru the power of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost Sunday.
We to must ponder the events of our days, we must listen for the word of God and the Spirit of truth. There is no magical formula other than pursuing God, this desire to understand is one of the gifts of the Spirit. As Jesus clearly says to us, "I will come to you." I will take God at His word for He is the Spirit of truth.
What is God saying to me? In your pondering I Am revealing grace to you, these insights takes effort and time along with the gift of desire. Pray for the gift of desire for deeper union with Me.
Dear Father, I see You bringing all things together, I see You answering prayer right before our eyes, little do we know how the body of Christ operates yet it brings about change thru the events of our days. I thank You Father for these gifts and blessings, may I not stand in Your way. May I be obedient to Your will and Your word. As I read, reveal truth, keep me focused on the task at hand and bring about Your desired result. Prayers of safety for all those in harms way around the world, may the unbelieving come to know and worship You, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Protector of the Holy Family, Pray for us.
Viva Cristo Rey
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
