The Promised Spirit
Students may read John 14:15-26
Jesus made a promise to his disciples on the evening of the Last Supper. He promised to send a new spirit to comfort, help, and guide them. Jesus spoke of this spirit saying, “He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” The Spirit helps us to know Jesus and experience his presence in our lives. The new spirit that Jesus promised is a teacher as well as a comforter. “When the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into all truth.”
Discussion Questions
Today, we know that Jesus sent this promised spirit on the day of Pentecost. It has long been known as the Holy Spirit. Even now, it comforts, helps, and guides us. How do we know that the Spirit is still with us? How can we experience it?
