John 16:12-15
12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 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. 14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.
We can bear to hear some things only when God's Spirit lives in us, leading and guiding our understanding of the truth of God's word and its impact. His Spirit in us glorifies God as the things of Christ become real in our minds and hearts as God gives to His Son and on to us. We now can bear to hear many things, and more will follow in eternity. Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!
