Scripture
“He is the Holy Spirit who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it isn't looking for him and doesn't recognise him. But you know him because he lives with you now and later will be in you.”
Observation
Philip asks Jesus to show them the Father. Jesus replies, “If you see me you see the Father.”
The role of the Son is to glorify the Father and part of this is that He will answer our prayers, ensuring that His followers do even greater things than Jesus did.
Jesus promises to send another Advocate, the Holy Spirit, who leads us into all truth.
Application
The Holy Spirit is our Advocate or Counsellor. He show us what to do, how to glorify God. He strengthens us and encourages us as one who walks with us.
The result of walking in fellowship with the Holy Spirit is that we can do things that are even greater than what Jesus did.
We can preach the Good News, heal the sick, raise the dead and even die- all to the glory of God.
The secret is to stay close to the Holy Spirit, always listening and obeying.
Prayer
Holy Spirit, my Advocate and Counsellor, lead me in all I do today. Strengthen my faith and confidence in you, so that in all I do I bring glory to the Father. Amen.
