“I have much more to say to you, but you can’t handle it now. However, when the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you in all truth. He won’t speak on his own, but will say whatever he hears and will proclaim to you what is to come. He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and proclaim it to you. Everything that the Father has is mine. That’s why I said that the Spirit takes what is mine and will proclaim it to you. (John 16:12-15, CEB)
Jesus is speaking to the disciples here as they are journeying to garden where he will be handed over to be put on trial and then to death. He is telling the disciples about the coming kingdom and all the truths of God. He says he has much more to tell them, but he knows they can not handle it.
What did Jesus want/need to tell them they could not handle? He was already told them he will be handed over, tried, beaten, killed. What could be worse? What can they not handle?
Sometimes what we do not know is for our own good. I really want a road map of God’s plan, but if I had that, what would I do to screw it up?
Know what you know. Have faith in God to see us through.
Loving People. Loving God.
