John 14:26
v. 26: Jesus gives them hope by saying the Father will send another teacher: The Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you (John 14:26 a). The Holy Spirit comes because of Jesus, to be his representative. The Spirit will teach the disciples everything they need to know and help them remember all of Jesus’ teachings. This is important because the disciples will need to share Jesus' message with others, and they might forget some things on their own. The Spirit will guide them into the truth, not by teaching a new message, but by helping them understand and recall what Jesus has already said. This promise is also for all Christians, because the Holy Spirit helps everyone remember and understand God’s word. Jesus promises, “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” The Holy Spirit will help the disciples understand and remember Jesus’ teachings. The Spirit will continue to teach and guide them (John 14:26 b).
