KEY SCRIPTURES: Joh 18:20 KJV” Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.”

The Lord Jesus instructed His disciples never to think of what to say when they were summoned before any authorities because the Holy Spirit would teach them what to say (Luke 12:11, 12) In this light, the Lord also depended on the Holy Spirit to answer the High Priest.  This is divine wisdom in action. As children of God in a world predominantly ruled by Satan, we daily need the assistance of the Holy Spirit in every aspect of our lives, especially when we have to answer a hostile world that seeks to overthrow the faith of many.

The Lord was never lost for the right answers on any day of His service on the earth. When these religious leaders brought a lady, who they claimed was caught in the very act of adultery to Him, He made sure His answer was not against the law of Moses as well as found a way to free the poor woman, yet to counsel her never to go sin again. He asked them, which of them had not committed any sinful act before, he should cast the first stone at the woman. None of them threw a piece of dust at her. This was the Holy Spirit speaking through Him.

One aspect of our Christian life is sharing goodness with people. Some may seem to be very defensive and argumentative and even try to pin you down with very difficult questions. In such moments, do not panic, just stay calm, and listen attentively to his questions. Meanwhile be praying in your heart, asking the Holy Spirit to answer your enquirer. He would give you very wise answers which your enquirer would have no further questions to oppose you.

THOUGHT: THE SPIRIT IS EVER READY TO ASSIST US DAILY.
