Gospel: John 16:12-15

Gospel reflection: What do you remember from today's reading?

This story is part of Jesus' farewell conversation to the disciples before he dies on the cross.

So Jesus is talking to the disciples on the evening before he will be arrested and crucified. The disciples are all aware that this is the last time Jesus is going to be with them all and talk to them. How do you think they felt about this?

Jesus says to the disciples that after he has gone, the Holy Spirit will guide them. The Holy Spirit will be their teacher and will speak to them just as Jesus did when he was alive and with them. The Holy Spirit will show the disciples what they must do and what they must say in Jesus' name.
It's a bit like having messages being passed on, just as we all do, through our

    Prayer- Father God in heaven, it is once again that you have allowed me to stand behind the sacred desk and breathe the breath of life one more time. God I thank you that you will allow these your people to witness your awesome power. God I ask right now in the name of Jesus, that you would make every heart in this room that has not fully accepted you, uncomfortable so that through this message, you can speak to their heart and have them surrendering to your will and your way. God I know that this is youth day but lord help me to preach YOUR WORD to the young as well as the young at heart. Then God I ask that you will put Minister Lee in his seat and that you will rise inside of me, using me as a conduit to reach your children, with the aid of the Holy Spirit leading and guiding. Then God I ask by the authority of your word that you help me set the captives free, heal the broken hearted, and help the blind receive sight so that they may see their way through the storm, in Jesus’ immaculate we do pray. AMEN…

    The Holy Spirit is also doing work in the present. Ever since Jesus was glorified in the upper room after His resurrection, every born again Christian receives the person of the Holy Spirit after salvation. When a person accepts Jesus as their Lord and Savior, they also accept the Spirit to dwell within their heart. Once a person becomes a Christian and has the Spirit in their heart, that person will never have to pray for the presence of Him in their life, even though Christians should pray for Him to be sown in their life (Bere and Horton 176).…

    As diverse and multicultural as today’s society may appear, the majority of individuals have still heard of the gospels that help make up the Holy Bible. Although there are many in the Bible, the four canonical gospels, Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John, are perhaps the most widely recognized. These four, although composed by different individuals, share many similarities in common such as how those who encounter Jesus after his resurrection behave. Even certain traits that characterize Jesus himself after resurrection are somewhat related.…

    “When He had finished praying, Jesus left with His disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was an olive grove, and He and His disciples went into it. Now Judas, who betrayed Him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with His disciples. So Judas came to the grove, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons. Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to Him, went out and asked them, ‘Who is it you want?’ ‘Jesus of Nazareth,’ they replied. ‘I am He,’ Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) When Jesus said, ‘I am He,’ they drew back and fell to the ground. Again He asked them, ‘Who is it you want?’ And they said, ‘Jesus of Nazareth.’ ‘I told you that I am he,’ Jesus answered. ‘If you are looking for me, then let these men go.’ This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: ‘I have not lost one of those you gave me.’ Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, ‘Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?’ Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound Him and brought Him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high…

    “Elohi, Elohi, lama sabachthani!” Translated means, “father, father, why hast thou forsaken me?” These as the last fleeting words in Greek from Christ during his crucifixion. This was a tear-jerking moment as I sat in the church audience while the play traversed through the book of Mark, one of the Canonical Books of the Biblical New Testament. This was such a vivid moment in my mind, hearing the breath of the actor fade as he pretended to endure Christ’s final moments. The lights turned out with the cracking of thunder and a flash of lightening, and the narrator in his most heartfelt tone said, “It is done!” I peered over to my wife as she gripped my hand like a transformed Bruce Banner and released a single tear in a fractionized timed manner. This became a moment cascading in emotion, frustration, and pain. Little did I know the magnitude and impact of this 2,000 year old event on my life and my lineage to come.…
