John 14:25

John 14:25 says, These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.  Though Jesus would not be present with them physically much longer, He would still be with them spiritually, just as He is with us today as Christians.  Verse twenty-six adds, But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, Whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance, all things which I have said unto you.  After referring to the Father and the Son in the previous verses, in verse twenty-six, He spoke of the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost. I believe that at times we discount the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives.  We call on God in the name of Jesus but without the power and intercession of the Holy Spirit.  Again, there is only one God, but He chose to reveal Himself and work through His people as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit is the Comforter and Teacher of the followers of Christ in the world today. We need to surrender our lives to Him daily. Verse twenty-seven continues, Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.  We as followers of Christ should live a life of peace without fear.  We might think this impossible, but if we are living in the power and comfort of the Holy Spirit, it is not only possible but also a command of Christ.  We cannot look to the world for peace and for our hearts to not be troubled.  The disciples were about to see Jesus arrested and crucified.  Things cannot get worse than that, but Jesus told them He left them His peace.  When we truly realize that the things of this world are but temporary, and that we as followers of Christ have everlasting life, we should be at peace in our life and not troubled in our hearts.
