Who can know a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit is the only one who can know the depths of God. With this in mind it is easy to understand why Jesus emphasized the importance of the Holy Spirit and His coming to lead His people into all the truth and to empower them. The presence of the Holy Spirit was not only for the early disciples but also for God’s redeemed throughout history. We rob others and ourselves when we don’t understand, ignore or rebel against this truth.
