In Good Hands

As Jesus prepared his disciples for his departure, they were full of

questions — “Where are you going? How will we know the way

there? Would you please just show us the Father?” — and not very

satisfied with his answers. So Jesus promised to send them “another

Helper” (John 14:16, ESV). And we can almost hear them protesting,

like kids bemoaning a favorite coach’s retirement or church

members grieving a beloved pastor’s call to serve elsewhere: “Oh,

great. Someone new for us to get to know. It won’t be the same. It

won’t be you.”

Except … the word another has two forms in Greek: “another just

like this one” and “another, different version.” And when the author

of John translated Jesus’ Aramaic into Greek, the first definition was

the accurate one. Jesus was assuring his disciples they’d be in good

hands, at peace and secure because the new Helper — the Holy

Spirit — would be another just like him. 1

1 John 5:14-15

This is the confidence we have in

approaching God: that if we ask anything

according to his will, he hears us. And if we

know that he hears us—whatever we

ask—we know that we have what we asked

of him. NIV

Thanks, Mom!

At his graduation, a young man tasked with giving a speech began reading from some notes. “I want to talk about my mother and the wonderful influence she had on my life,” he said. “She’s a shining example of parenthood, and I love her more

than words can ever do justice.”

The graduate then paused, appeared to struggle a moment and looked up at the audience with a mischievous smile. “It’s really hard to read my mom’s

handwriting,” he said.
