12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.” (John 10:12-15 NIV)
Happy Monday, Friend! May the grace and peace of the Lord Jesus be with you and yours is my prayer. I pray you have a restful weekend and are ready for the week. May you live a life that becomes a blessing to others. May others see the risen Christ in you and me!
In an ancient movie Heaven Help Us, about boys and girls in a Catholic school, one troublemaking student is asked to explain the Holy Trinity by a very strict teacher/priest, who uses the ruler quite liberally. The student did not expect to be put on the spot responds, "The Trinity is, has been, and will always be a mystery." The priest is not happy and uses the ruler to show his displeasure.
On Trinity Sunday, we celebrate the deep mystery and beauty of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit —not three gods, but one God in three persons. It’s a doctrine that can challenge our intellect but also deeply nurture our hearts.
In this passage, Jesus prepares His disciples—and us—for life after His earthly ministry. He doesn’t leave them alone or uninformed. Instead, He promises the Spirit of truth, who will guide them into all truth. Not a truth invented, but truth given—truth from the Father, through the Son, delivered by the Spirit.
Think of a relay race. The baton of divine truth is passed securely from the Father to the Son to the Spirit, and ultimately to us. The unity among the Trinity ensures that what we receive is consistent, trustworthy, and filled with grace. The Spirit doesn’t bring a new message but helps us understand and live the message Jesus already gave.
This is good news. You are not expected to figure out faith on your own. God is with you—in every moment, in every question, in every act of obedience or doubt. The Spirit gently illuminates the way, guiding you into deeper understanding and love.
PRAYER: Holy God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—thank You for the mystery and gift of Your unity and love. Thank You that we are not alone, but that the Spirit guides us, glorifying Jesus and revealing Your heart. Teach us to listen, to follow, and to trust. Lead us in truth, that our lives might reflect Your glory and love in a confused world. Amen.
Have a great and blessed day in the Lord! OUR CALL TO ACTION: Let the Spirit guide your heart and mind today. Listen closely. Walk boldly. Trust that the God who speaks through the Trinity is still speaking to you.
I love you and I thank God for you!
