This document discusses the role of the Holy Spirit according to passages from the Gospel of John. It notes that Jesus promised the disciples that the Holy Spirit would guide them into truth and declare things to come. The message for today is that the Holy Spirit continues the message of Jesus by pointing to him, speaking of him, and glorifying him. The Holy Spirit was sent by both Jesus and the Father, so the message is continued from the Father through the Son and the Spirit. The conclusion encourages living an abundant life by allowing Christ's love to overflow to others through the power of the Holy Spirit.
