When Jesus rose into heaven he left with us the Spirit of Truth-a counselor to be with us forever. That is how we know how to live our everyday lives; because we know and understand the Spirit of Truth. It is in us. But John 14:17 says, “the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.” The world doesn’t get why we live the way we do, fleeing from common activities because of their sinful temptation or even why we are so joyful most of the time when we live in a depressing world. They don’t see the wrong in society because they don’t know the Spirit of Truth. The world does not see Jesus, but we do. And we must live for Him and show Him to people everywhere so that they too may come to know Him.
Right now the world lives in darkness, for fear of their deeds being exposed in the light. And when they are left disappointed by situations, they have no one to blame but themselves, because in darkness you are on your own. No one could see to help you even if they wanted to. Here motives are selfish and conceited; this is no formula from happiness.
But when you embrace the Spirit of Truth you can step into the light with the knowledge of grace, mercy, and unconditional love. Then all your works will be exposed which causes you to start working for the Lord rather than yourself. Now you find help and guidance from God and a community of Christians around you. The deeds you do are not your own; they are only made possible by God.
When you lose yourself and start reaching for Christ, you will surely find satisfaction and fulfillment, unlike the results of living in darkness.
