1. The Spirit of Truth (15-20)

Jesus promised to give the Holy Spirit to those who love and obey him. The Holy Spirit is the Counselor, the Spirit of truth. People who love personal security or worldly pleasure more than the truth have no room in their hearts for the Spirit of truth. He does not compromise with the world. He dwells in hearts that love God and love truth. When he dwells within, he reminds us of God's great love for us, so we cannot be lonely or desolate or feel empty, like orphans.

2. He who loves me (21)

If we love Jesus, we will study his word and learn what pleases him and do it. If we love Jesus and obey him, the Father will pour out his special love on us. Jesus will also love us and reveal himself to us. We can take his yoke and learn of him, for he is humble and gentle in heart. We can know him, and know that he is with us.

Application: Lord, I love you and your truth. Come and dwell with me forever.
One Word: Jesus gives the Spirit of Truth
