John 16:12

John 16:12 says. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.  We might think that those following Christ could bear to hear anything He told them, but He said they weren't ready.  Verse thirteen adds, 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 show you things to come.  They were not ready to hear everything yet because the Holy Spirit was not there to guide them. We as His followers today do not have that disadvantage.  We have the Holy Spirit to guide us from the moment we accept Christ as our Savior.  He will reveal the truth to us in all things if we are only willing to listen.  We will never be led astray by the Holy Spirit. Even as a new Christian, as we struggle with questions about what is right or wrong, the Holy Spirit is there to reveal the truth to us.  He had not yet come to Jesus's followers while Jesus was one the earth.  Verse fourteen continues, He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shew it unto you.  The Holy Spirit did not come to glorify Himself, but to glorify Jesus. Again, I do not claim to understand all about the Trinity, but I do know that Jesus is the Messiah and the Holy Spirit only points us to the truth of God the Father.  The Holy Spirit is here to protect and enlighten the followers of Christ.  Verse fifteen concludes, All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I that he shall take of mine, and show all it unto you.  We are not left defenseless or in half truths.  As followers of Christ, we have the Holy Spirit to reveal to us all things of the Heavenly Father.  If we find ourselves in situations that seem hopeless, we only have to remember that the Holy Spirit empowers us and will show us the way that God would have us go.  We are God's people, and He is with us forever.
