“I will talk to the Father, and he’ll provide you another Friend so that you will always have someone with you. This Friend is the Spirit of Truth.” (John 14: 16-17, The Message)

Jesus did not leave his disciples without help and guidance when he ascended. He let his immediate followers know that they would never be left alone, without comfort, without a presence on which to lean. His assurance was meant for us all—you and me, today.

Jesus revealed the Christ to humanity. He made it clear that this tangible presence of God, felt in the midst of our human worries and wanderings, was the Truth for all time. Jesus gave us the ultimate example of this consciousness through his inspired teachings and healings. Jesus knew that God was always with him, and that this meant he was never friendless, helpless, or alone.

This Truth is for us all. We don’t have the physical man Jesus holding our hands, but we have the Spirit of Truth, that forever-Friend that never lets us go, isn’t hindered by space or time, and is always reliably kind, wise, and powerfully good.

The Spirit of Truth is not an ethereal hope, but a living reality. Let’s recognize this friend, this companion, always with us to open our eyes when we are being duped; to clear our thoughts when we feel confused; to show us love when we are afraid; and to bring us joy and light as we walk through all the days of our lives.
