SE Students - No Matter What - Part 2نموونە
Have you ever had a friend share something with you that just made you extremely sad or angry? Maybe they told you that they were moving away, or that they had a really bad disease that didn’t have a cure. When you get news like that, anything they say right after is really hard to hear. You don’t want to hear about where they’re moving to. You can’t bear the thought of them dying. When you hear something you don’t want to, your heart can feel overwhelmed and it can become hardened.
This is exactly where the disciples found themselves. In John 16:12, Jesus knew that the disciples were hurting and confused because of what He had just shared with them. He knew that they would not be ready to hear more truth about what was to come. Therefore, in the very next verse, Jesus promised them that the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit, would reveal to them the truth that they were not quite yet ready to hear.
Today, the Holy Spirit brings the truth about Jesus to all of our hearts. No matter how hard a heart may be, the Spirit is powerful enough to change it. Jesus’ love, power, truth, grace, and mercy know no obstacles. Has your heart been hardened because of something that has happened in your life? Pray and believe that the Holy Spirit can and will bring the power of the gospel to your heart and change your life forever. Do you believe that the Holy Spirit can change someone’s life?
