"I still have many things to tell you ..." (John 16: 12-15)
Biblical reflections by Mauro Leonardi*, priest and writer
Jesus knows that the truth of eternity, the love of eternity, is also a weight, and then it offers us a path that leads little by little to "all the truth": believe the person who says all the things he has heard and taking what is of his son and donating him entirely.
From the Gospel according to John 16: 12-15
At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «I still have many things to tell you, but for the moment you are not able to bring their weight. However, when the spirit of truth will come, he will guide you to the whole truth, because he will not speak for himself, but he will say everything he has heard and will announce future things to you. He will glorify me, because he will take mine and I will announce it. All that the father possesses is mine; This is why I said he will take mine and I will announce it "
