第 27 天 約14:16-23
16 我要求父，父就另外賜給你們一位保惠師，叫他永遠與你們同在，
17 就是真理的聖靈，乃世人不能接受的；因為不見他，也不認識他。你們卻認識他，因他常與你們同在，也要在你們裏面。
18 我不撇下你們為孤兒，我必到你們這裏來。
19 還有不多的時候，世人不再看見我，你們卻看見我；因為我活着，你們也要活着。
20 到那日，你們就知道我在父裏面，你們在我裏面，我也在你們裏面。
21 有了我的命令又遵守的，這人就是愛我的；愛我的必蒙我父愛他，我也要愛他，並且要向他顯現。」
22 猶大（不是加略人猶大）問耶穌說：「主啊，為甚麼要向我們顯現，不向世人顯現呢？」
23 耶穌回答說：「人若愛我，就必遵守我的道；我父也必愛他，並且我們要到他那裏去，與他同住。
Day 27 John 14:16-23
16 And I will pray the Father，and He will give you another Helper，that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth，whom the world cannot receive，because it neither sees Him nor knows Him；but you know Him，for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans；I will come to you.
19 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more，but you will see Me. Because I live，you will live also. 20 At that day you will know that I am in My Father，and you in Me， and I in you. 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them，it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father，and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him， “Lord，how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us，and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him， “If anyone loves Me，he will keep My word；and My Father will love him，and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
何等的安慰，知道主在離開世界以前為我們所求的 - 父賜下聖靈給我們！藉著聖靈那條經歷祂同在與領受祂啟示的蒙福之路向我們敞開了：我們愛，因為 神先愛了我們。藉著祂愛的激勵，我們渴望在一切事上討祂的喜悅。即便有時候，遵守祂的命令不是件容易的事，然而我們必經歷聖靈保惠師來做我們隨時的幫助。聖靈將忠心的與我們同在，直到 神成就一切祂在我們身上所定的旨意。讚美主！
How comforting to learn what our Lord prayed for before He was to depart from the world - that God would send the Holy Spirit to us! Through the Holy Spirit we find the blessed path to experiencing His abiding presence and receiving the revelation from the living God: We love Him because He first loved us. Out of that compelling love comes forth the desire to please Him in everything we do. And in endeavoring to keep His commandments, which may be challenging at times, we shall experience the very present help from our Comforter the Holy Spirit – who will faithfully abide with us until every single purpose of God is fulfilled in our lives. Praise the Lord!
