Jesus said,
"When the Advocate comes, whom
I will send to you from the Father,
He will be my witness . And you will
be witnesses because you have been
with me from the outset"
John
16:7-15
The Spirit of Truth is one and
undivided, illuminating, empowering
and bearing witness to that which
signifies in creation , revealing
the loving purpose of the Heavenly
Father for all that is.
And the witness to Me of My disciples
both in My incarnate life and down
the ages is the Spirit of Truth
Himself. It is He who bears witness
through My faithful, committed ones
, revealing the love of the Father
expressed in the saving work of
the Son. And as He works and witnesses
through the faithful so are they
fulfilled as true children of the
Father , already members of His
eternal Kingdom of light and love
.
And if that knowledge is life and
joy to those who are truly mine
it is both challenge and condemnation
to those who perceiving the light
of the witness or truth, ignore
or seek to extinguish it in themselves
and in others. The shadow cast by
them on the children of light will
pass as a summer cloud: "sorrow
abides for a season but joy comes
in the morning".
