Evening: Psalm 118; John 16:1-15
Last night CBC’s ‘As it Happens’ featured an Australian documentary film about an aboriginal boy’s healing gifts. When this boy heard a white ‘western’ teacher ridiculing ‘the Great Spirit’ in the classroom, he protested and said: “But the Great Spirit is real.” The boy did not fare well in that school. Jesus warns his disciples that those who persecute them will think they are doing the world a service. But Jesus promises his disciples that the Spirit of Truth will come to guide them. When people ridicule others’ reliance on the Spirit, they actually admit that the Spirit has power.
