John 14: 8-17 v 16 “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another helper who will be with you forever.”
Phillip one of the disciples asked Jesus a question “Lord, show us the Father, and that will satisfy us.” Jesus is a little exasperated by this question answering, “Don’t you know me yet Phillip?” He went on to say that this should be enough “believe me when I say that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me.” He also gives us another way to believe” “Otherwise believe me because of the things I do.”
As well as finding out who Jesus is He also tells us of another gift that is coming to us from God, I will ask the Father, and He will give you another helper who will be with you forever.” “That helper is the Holy Spirit”
As we continue to understand the relationship between God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit we learn from Jesus that God is in charge, “the Father “does what He wants”. However they work together, I am in the Father, and the Father is in me. I guess it is a bit like our DNA unique to us but able to identify who is related to us. Jesus not only is known for His Godly characteristics but also for the things He did. And the Holy Spirit is with us always as a helper.
Prayer: Holy God help me to worship today and everyday with actions that speak the truth of who you are, a loving Father. Amen.
