Whatever He Hears

John 16:13 (NKJV)
¹³ However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

Jesus speaks of another one coming from God after He goes back to His Father. Like Jesus, the Holy Spirit comes from God and only speaks the word of God. They do not speak from themselves, but in complete obedience to God; they pass on to us that which is of God, the source of life and truth.

Is it not astounding to consider that this Holy Spirit comes to each of us? The Spirit that knows the deep things of God is within each heart that places its trust in Jesus. Just as the one man conquered death and sin for all, the one Spirit comes to unite us in the truth and life of Christ. God comes to us individually and the multitude is made one.
