3. Who did Jesus say would come to us when He had returned to His Father? John 15:26.
NOTE: ‘The Holy Spirit exalts and glorifies the Saviour. It is his office [appointed work] to present Christ, the purity of His righteousness, and the great salvation that we have through Him. Jesus says, “He shall receive of Mine, and shall show it unto you.” [John 16:14.] The Spirit of truth is the only effectual teacher of divine truth. How must God esteem the human race, since He gave His Son to die for them, and appoints His Spirit to be man’s teacher and continual guide.’ Christian Education, page 59.
4. When we find truth, what other qualities are linked with it? Exodus 18:21; Exodus 34:6; Deuteronomy 32:3-4.
NOTE: ‘The leaven of truth will not produce the spirit of rivalry, the love of ambition, the desire to be first. True, heaven-born love is not selfish and changeable. It is not dependent on human praise. The heart of him who receives the grace of God overflows with love for God and for those for whom Christ died. Self is not struggling for recognition. He does not love others because they love and please him, because they appreciate his merits, but because they are Christ’s purchased possession. If his motives, words, or actions are misunderstood or misrepresented, he takes no offence, but pursues the even tenor of his way. He is kind and thoughtful, humble in his opinion of himself, yet full of hope, always trusting in the mercy and love of God.’ Christ’s Object Lessons, page 101.
