The Comforter
“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.”
John 14:26
Suggested Further Reading:
1 Peter 1:10-12, 22-25
I have heard many fanatical persons say that the Holy Spirit revealed this and that to them.
Now that is very generally revealed nonsense.
The Holy Spirit does not reveal anything fresh now.
He brings old things to our remembrance.
“He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever I have told you.”
The canon of revelation is closed; there is no more to be added.
God does not give a fresh revelation, but he rivets the old one.
When it has been forgotten, and laid in the dusty chamber of our memory,
he brings it out and cleans the picture,
but does not paint a new one.
There are no new doctrines, but the old ones are often revived.
It is not, I say, by any new revelation that the Spirit comforts.
He does so by telling us old things over again; he brings a fresh lamp to manifest the treasures hidden in Scripture; he unlocks the strong chests in which the truth has long lain, and he points to secret chambers filled with untold riches; but he creates no more, for enough is done.
Believer! There is enough in the Bible for thee to live upon for ever.
If thou shouldst outnumber the years of Methuselah,
there would be no need for a fresh revelation;
if thou shouldst live till Christ should come upon the earth,
there would be no necessity for the addition of a single word;
if thou shouldst go down as deep as Jonah,
or even descend as David envisaged into the belly of hell,
still there would be enough in the Bible to comfort thee without a supplementary sentence.
But Christ says, “He shall take of mine and shall show it unto you.”
For meditation:
The Spirit of truth who guides into all the truth (John 16:13)
does not work independently of Jesus the truth (John 14:6),
the only true God (John 17:3) and the word of truth
(John 17:17).
Otherwise “What is truth?” (John 18:38).
