The Words of Jesus of Nazareth It is the Spirit that has the power to give life.


If you love me, then keep my commandments. And I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Comforter to be with you forever. He is the Spirit of truth. The world does not accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you will know him, for he will dwell with you, and will be in you.
I will not leave you comfortless. Now it is necessary for you that I go away; for if I do not leave, the Comforter, the Holy spirit, will not come to you. If I depart, I will send him to you.
When he has come, he will reveal to the world what is sin, and what is righteousness and judgment. Sin, because they do not believe in me; righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you will not see me; judgment, because the evil power of the prince of this world has been shattered.
I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot understand them now. However, when the Spirit of truth has come, He will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak of himself; but whatever he hears, that he will speak, showing you that which is to come.
He will praise me and glorify me, by revealing my glory to you. Remember: all the Father's glory is mine as well. This is why I am able to make this promise to you: the Spirit will reveal my divine nature to you. If your child asked bread of you, would you offer a stone? If your child asked for fish to eat, would you offer a snake? Would you give a scorpion to the little one who asked for an egg?
If you then, being earthly, know how to provide for your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?
When the Comforter, the Spirit of truth, whom I will send to you from the Father, has come, he will testify of me. He will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I have told you.
