MacDonald: the Spirit teaches
Meditation:
At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them.
—John 8:2 (NIV)
Quotation:
There is more hid in Christ than we shall ever learn, here or there either; but they that begin first to inquire will soonest be gladdened with revelation; and with them He will be best pleased, for the slowness of His disciples troubled Him of old. To say that we must wait for the other world, to know the mind of Him who came to this world to give Himself to us, seems to me the foolishness of a worldly and lazy spirit. The Son of God is the Teacher of men, giving to them of His Spirit—that Spirit which manifests the deep things of God, being to a man the mind of Christ. The great heresy of the Church of the present day is unbelief in this Spirit.

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, You daily instruct me by Your Spirit.
