The Illuminating Role of the Holy Spirit John 14:24–26
Open your Bible, if you will, to the 14th chapter of John, I want to draw you to three verses in John chapter 14. John chapter 14. I just want you to look at verses 24, 25, and 26. Now, you know where we are. We are in the upper room with our Lord and the 11 disciples. Judas has already left to launch the arrest of Jesus in the middle of the night, to lead to His crucifixion the next morning. The 11 disciples are with our Lord, and that incredible evening is when He gives them massive, far-reaching, sweeping promises. Those promises begin in chapter 14 and run through chapter 16. They are sealed in prayer in chapter 17 as – the Lord asks the Father to fulfill all His promises.
It’s an unparalleled portion of Scripture. We have already seen some of the promises. The promise of a room in the Father’s house; eternal heaven was given early in chapter 14, the promise that the Lord will come and take His own to be with Him in the place that He’s prepared for them. Then, in the meantime, the promise that all of heaven’s resources are available here and now; all we have to do, according to verses 12 through 14, is ask. And if we ask according to His will and in His name, He will provide.
