Convicted

It's funny. I feel like growing up in the church, I didn't always hear too much about the Holy Spirit, but the first thing I have to teach kids about in this Sunday School is, dun dun dun,  you guessed it, the Holy Spirit, which is awesome, because that means that I get to learn about the Holy Spirit too!

But anyhow, I read John 14:26 while preparing for Sunday School last night. It says:

"But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you."

And the Teacher's Guide points out that "it's important to understand that the Holy Spirit reminds us of words that Jesus has spoken. we read them in the Bible. If we haven't learned Jesus' words in the first place, we can't be 'reminded' of them, can we? Then, as we read God's Word, the Holy Spirit will help us use the truth in the Bible to make wise decisions. And the Spirit will also give us the strength to do what we know is right" because He is our Comforter, our Guide, and our Teacher.

And after reading that, I was like OOF, that's a good Word. Go you, Sunday School Teacher's Guide, go you.
