On 10th March 2020, YEF members continue to meditate on John 16.
13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.
15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”
One member shared:
When the Holy Spirit comes, the Holy Spirit will help us to open our eyes and ears and heart to the truth. So we must rely on the holy spirit. And even when we are weak, we should not misunderstand God but ask in prayer for God to reveal the truth. Let us not be hasty to judge and act foolishly. We must be slow to act by our own thoughts, but quick to ask and wait upon the Lord for the answers.
We must truly learn the thoughts and actions of Jesus. There are many who did not understand the cross and gave up. But we must hold onto the faith and hope firmly. When we are in despair or cannot see God, we must still believe that this is the absolute truth and keep praying for God to help us understand Him, by His grace. We cannot use our thoughts to define Jesus or God. We can only understand Him by how He has been revealed in the bible. We cannot cherry-pick what we choose to believe. But to believe the bible in its entirety because it is the whole truth. We seek Jesus in prayer to intercede for us on our behalf. We can go directly to God but because it was through Jesus, we are able to meet God, we can pray to Jesus as well.
