John 14:26 – But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name , will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
‘Will remind you,’ there is that story telling theme again. When we hear again Jesus words, we should be reminded that God did send his Spirit and that we have been left with peace. Do we live as if this is true? Do we trust that whatever the future is, God is faithful? Do we take joy in God’s work today or long for past days?
Listen to the stories again of God’s faithfulness to the people of the Granite Belt congregations: stories of camps, Sunday schools and fetes: stories of worship, witness and service to the community. Be reminded that God’s Spirit filled this region then and now.
When we hear the stories of God’s faithfulness to God’s people, we are reminded of God’s faithfulness to us. Jesus said, ‘Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you.’
Go in peace to love and serve the LORD!
