“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.”
John 14:16-17 KJV
John writes about Jesus’s last intimate conversation with His disciples who stayed with Him till then. Jesus says that in His prayerful engagement with the Father, He will give another close Companion to be with His disciples - in such an intimate way that His immediate Presence will continue to be inseparably one with us in timeless ages to come! He is the Spirit of Truth, our Eternal Companion, Whom those trapped in the sense ruled world, just cannot get to grips with! Their visual horizon is veiled, and they are unable to understand what they cannot see. But in our intimacy with Jesus, we are familiar with this seamless union and the Spirit’s continued Presence within us. He is inseparably in us to remind us of our true identity in Christ. In the Incarnate Word, the spirit dimension is not a foreign place, neither is the Spirit a foreign Person to us. Let’s walk in the Spirit! Amen!
