I AM SO ENCOURAGED RIGHT NOW!I was reading myspace's daily bible verse John 16:12-13 REALLY IS COMFORTING ITS GOD'S MYSPACE MESSAGE TO ME:
"I HAVE MUCH MORE 2 SAY 2 YOU,MORE THEN YOU CAN BEAR NOW.BUT WHEN HE,SPIRIT OF TRUTH.COMES.HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH. HE WILL NOT SPEAK ON HIS OWN;HE WILL SPEAK ONLY WHAT HE HEARS, AND HE WILL TELL YOU WHAT IS YET 2 COME!"
I also looked up what this verse was saying:
Commentary
There were still many other things the Lord had to tell the disciples, but they could not take them in. This is an important principle of teaching. There must be a certain progress in learning before advanced truths can be received. The Lord never overwhelmed His disciples with teaching. He gave it to them "line upon line, precept upon precept." The work which the Lord began was to be continued by the Spirit of truth. He would guide them into all truth.
MacDonald, W., & Farstad, A. (1997, c1995). Believer's Bible Commentary : Old and New Testaments (Jn 16:12). Nashville: Thomas Nelson.
For the Hebrews, truth was basically moral and relational, not simply intellectual. For the Greeks, the emphasis of truth was intellectual rather than a matter of trust or reliance. The New Testament usage draws on both understandings. The word is found mainly in Paul's writings and in John's Gospel and letters. John builds on the understanding that God is true or real (John 3:33; 7:28). Christ reveals God and thus reveals truth (John 8:26, 40; 18:37). Christ is full of grace and truth (John 1:14, 17), He is "the truth" (John 14:6; read John 1:9; 15:1), and He sends the Spirit of truth (John 15:26).
THAT SPEAKS TO MY HEART .. IT'S MIND BLOWING THAT I READ THAT RIGHT WHEN I NEEDED IT! GOD IS SO AMAZING AND I WILL TRUST IN HIM NO MATTER WHAT!
