When it is a question of God’s almighty Spirit, never say, “I can’t.” —Oswald Chambers

我们有圣灵大能的帮助，千万别说：“我不能！”

[The Holy Spirit] will remind you of everything I have said to you. John 14:26

[圣灵]要叫你们想起我对你们所说的一切话。-约翰福音14章26节

After a spinal injury left Marty paralyzed, he decided to go back to school to earn his MBA. Marty’s mother, Judy, helped make his goal a reality. She sat with him through every lecture and study group, jotting notes and handling technology issues. She even assisted him onto the platform when he received his diploma. What might have been unattainable became possible with the consistent, practical help Marty received.

马迪因脊椎受伤而四肢瘫痪，但他决定要回学校取得企业管理硕士（MBA）学位。马迪的母亲茱蒂帮助他实现了这个目标。在马迪上的每堂课、每个小组讨论，茱蒂都会坐在马迪身边，帮他抄笔记和处理相关的技术问题。甚至在领取毕业证书时，她也推着他上台领取文凭。马迪从母亲那里得到持续和实际的帮助，实现了这原本不可能达成的梦想。

Jesus knew His followers would need a similar kind of support after He left the earth. When He told them about His upcoming absence, He said they would gain a new kind of connection with God through the Holy Spirit. This Spirit would be a moment-by-moment helper—a teacher and guide who would not only live withthem but also be in them (John 14:17, 26).

耶稣知道祂离世之后，祂的追随者也需要像这样的帮助。当耶稣告诉门徒自己即将离开的时候，祂说他们将会透过圣灵与上帝建立一种新的连结。圣灵将成为他们每时每刻的帮助，指示和教导他们，圣灵要与他们同在，而且还要住在他们里面（约翰福音14章17、26节）。

The Spirit would provide Jesus’s disciples with internal help from God, which would enable them to endure what they couldn’t handle on their own as they fanned out to share the good news. In moments of struggle, the Spirit would remind them of everything Jesus said to them (v. 26): Do not let your hearts be troubled . . . Love one another . . . I am the resurrection and the life.

耶稣的门徒得着从上帝而来的帮助，那就是圣灵成为他们心里的力量，使他们在传扬福音时，能承受那些靠自己而无法面对的种种挑战。在艰难的时刻，圣灵会让他们想起，耶稣对他们所说的一切话（26节），例如“你们心里不要忧愁”、“你们要彼此相爱”，以及“复活在我，生命也在我”。

Are you facing something that exceeds your own strength and ability? You can depend on the Spirit’s constant help. God’s Spirit working in you will bring Him the glory He deserves. 

你所面对的困难，是否无法靠自己的能力解决呢？你可以倚靠圣灵随时的帮助。圣灵会在你里面工作，让上帝得着祂应得的荣耀。

Lord, thank You for the assurance that we’re always under Your watchful care.

主啊，谢谢祢，因祢应许永远都会看顾保守我们。

John 14:15-26    NIV

14 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[a] in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.” 22 Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me. 25 “All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Advocate, 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.

约翰福音 14:15-26 

14 你们若爱我，就必遵守我的命令。16 “我要求父，父就另外赐给你们一位保惠师[a]，叫他永远与你们同在， 17 就是真理的圣灵，乃世人不能接受的，因为不见他，也不认识他。你们却认识他，因他常与你们同在，也要在你们里面。 18 我不撇下你们为孤儿，我必到你们这里来。 19 还有不多的时候，世人不再看见我，你们却看见我，因为我活着，你们也要活着。20 到那日，你们就知道我在父里面，你们在我里面，我也在你们里面。21 “有了我的命令又遵守的，这人就是爱我的。爱我的必蒙我父爱他，我也要爱他，并且要向他显现。” 22 犹大（不是加略人犹大）问耶稣说：“主啊，为什么要向我们显现，不向世人显现呢？” 23 耶稣回答说：“人若爱我，就必遵守我的道，我父也必爱他，并且我们要到他那里去，与他同住。 24 不爱我的人就不遵守我的道；你们所听见的道不是我的，乃是差我来之父的道。25 “我还与你们同住的时候，已将这些话对你们说了。 26 但保惠师，就是父因我的名所要差来的圣灵，他要将一切的事指教你们，并且要叫你们想起我对你们所说的一切话。

灵粮透视

In John, Jesus teaches extensively about the Holy Spirit: The advocate or comforter will help us and never leave us (John 14:16). The world cannot accept this “Spirit of truth,” yet He lives with and inside believers (v. 17). He teaches us and reminds us of Jesus’s words (v. 26; 15:26); convinces us of sin and reveals God’s “righteousness,” or moral rightness (16:8); and guides us into “all the truth” about Christ and brings Him glory (vv. 13–14).

在约翰福音，记载了耶稣很多关于圣灵的教导，例如：圣灵是保惠师或安慰者，祂会帮助我们，而且永远不离开我们（约翰福音14章16节）；世人不能接受这“真理的灵”，但圣灵与信徒同住，且住在他们里面（17节）；圣灵会教导我们，并让我们想起耶稣的话（26节，15章26节）；指证我们的罪，并启示上帝的“义”，或道德上的义（16章8节）；圣灵还会引导我们明白有关基督的“一切真理”，并要荣耀基督（13-14节）。
