John 14:25-26 - The Spirit, the Apostles, & Us - Jesmond Parish - Sermon
14 April '24 Ian Garrett - How do Christians claim we can know God? The answer is: because Jesus, God’s Son, has revealed him. So how can we know about Jesus? The answer is: through the testimony of the apostles – the ‘official’ eye-and-ear-witnesses whom Jesus chose. But then how do we know they remembered things accurately? And why do we trust their understanding of who Jesus is and what he came to do? Ian Garrett opens up John 14 to show how, on the night before he died, Jesus promised the apostles that after his death and resurrection, the Holy Spirit would remind them of everything they needed to remember, and give them a full and accurate understanding of it all. And the result of that promise was ultimately the New Testament – without which we couldn’t know Jesus or the Father he came to reveal. Which is why we mustn’t just think about the Spirit and us – but about the Spirit, the apostles, and us.
