He will teach you all things

“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” - John 14v26

The disciples must have been overwhelmed by the teachings that Jesus was giving them. There was so much to remember, and then He told them that the true test of whether or not they are His disciples is whether or not they keep his commandments. “How are we going to do all of this?” must have crossed their minds.

Did Jesus miss this concern on their parts? Of course not; instead He addressed their concerns with the promise of the coming Holy Spirit. There are two things specifically here that Jesus says about the Holy Spirit: 1) He will teach you all things, and 2) He will remind you of all that has been taught.

Praise God that He doesn’t just leave us directionless when it comes to following Him. He has given us the blessing of the Holy Spirit Who will teach and remind us of what We have been taught. Praise God for the gift of the Holy Spirit.
