John 15:26
““When the Counselor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.”
What does John 15:26 mean?
Jesus is describing the Holy Spirit as someone who will come after he leaves, carrying truth and bearing witness to who he is. The Spirit's role isn't to draw attention to itself but to point people back to Jesus and help them understand what his life, death, and resurrection mean. This promise would have comforted the disciples, who were about to face Jesus's departure and needed assurance they wouldn't be abandoned. When you encounter the Spirit's work in your own life, it often shows up as a quiet conviction about Jesus's character or a deepening sense of his presence, rather than something flashy or attention-grabbing.
