Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. 28  “You heard that I said to you, ‘I go away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I. 29 “And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that when it comes to pass, you may believe. 30 “I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me; 31 but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, even so I do.

The holy spirit will bring back to your minds all the things told

26 But the helper, the holy spirit, which the Father will send in my name, that one will teach you all things and bring back to your minds all the things I told you.+

the helper Or, “the paraclete (comforter).” Gr., ho . . . pa·raʹkle·tos, masc.

that one: “That one,” masc., referring to the “helper,” masc.

the things I told you.:

(Luke 24:49): 49 And, look! I am sending forth upon YOU that which is promised by my Father. YOU, though, abide in the city until YOU become clothed with power from on high.”+

(John 15:26): 26 When the helper* arrives that I will send YOU from the Father,+ the spirit of the truth, which proceeds from the Father, that one* will bear witness about me;+

(John 16:13): 13 However, when that one* arrives, the spirit of the truth,+ he will guide YOU into all the truth, for he will not speak of his own impulse, but what things he hears he will speak, and he will declare to YOU the things coming.+

(1 John 2:27): 27 And as for YOU, the anointing+ that YOU received from him remains in YOU, and YOU do not need anyone to be teaching YOU;+ but, as the anointing from him is teaching YOU about all things,+ and is true+ and is no lie, and just as it has taught YOU, remain in union+ with him.

The holy spirit . . . will . . . bring back to your minds all the things I told you.—John 14:26.

The Bible contains many words that can encourage, correct, or strengthen its readers. But you may ask, ‘How can I have scriptures at the ready when I need them?’ Read the Bible and meditate on God’s thoughts daily. In that way, you will build a reserve of divine expressions that Jehovah’s spirit can help you recall when you need them. (Mark 13:11) Like King Solomon, pray to Jehovah for wisdom in carrying out theocratic responsibilities. (2 Chron. 1:7-10) As did the prophets of old, make “a diligent inquiry and a careful search” of God’s Word for accurate knowledge of Jehovah and his will. (1 Pet. 1:10-12) The apostle Paul encouraged Timothy to nourish himself

“with the words of the faith and of the fine teaching.” (1 Tim. 4:6)

By your doing so, you will be in an excellent position to help others spiritually. At the same time, you will build up your own faith. w13 4/15 1:14, 15
