Yesterday
we rejoiced in the fact that Christ promised to not leave His Children
comfortless. The word translate
comfortless in the AV is orphanos (3737),
which means one who is bereaved by being left fatherless or parentless. So, Christ promised that He would pray the
Father to send the Spirit of truth.
Praise God, Christ not only promised
to send a comforter but that this comforter would be the Spirit of truth (pneuma aletheia, 4151 225). From these two Greek words we know that the
blessed Holy Spirit is the Spirit of verity.
What does this mean to Christian musicians? It means that the true truth found in the
Bible is not relative; it is attainable; it is sure because it comes from the
Spirit of Varity; the leadership and guidance that the Holy Spirit gives the
Spirit filled Christian musician can be trusted completely because it comes
from the Spirit of Truth.
Regardless
of the fact that post postmoderns believe that all “truth” is relative, we can
come to a knowledge of “true truth” because the Holy Spirit is with those of us
who Know God as our personal Savior. Before Christ ascended unto His Father in
heaven after His resurrection, He promise in St. John 14:16 “… I will pray the
Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you
forever”. Praise God, our Savior did not
leave us on this earth to wallow in our questions and problems alone. On the contrary, Christ sent us another
comforter to guide us through this present sin cursed world.
