It is still Christmas. We can hear in the reading today (John 14:15-31) that Jesus is continuing to affirm that He is coming back to get us, that He has more promise - gifts for us, and that He is sending Help. " I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth". This Helper will be our valuable aid in living out the promise - gifts from our Lord. Jesus said, " He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you."
I don't know about you, but this "bring to remembrance" part is a wonderful relief. As we look to Jesus we can trust that He will remind of us of His truth through His Holy Spirit.
But, of course we need to want His Help and can even ask for Him. Jesus said, "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?" (Luke 11:12-14)
Help, please.
