Devotion
There is no conflict between Father, Son and Spirit. Jesus sends us the Spirit of truth. The Spirit comes from the Father. The Spirit testifies, that is, affirms Christ.
In the middle of this complicated word from Jesus, he conveys to us a simple message. He wants us to know that we can trust his truth. There is nothing to add to God's truth. We cannot make it better.
Believing this word of truth, we can testify to what Jesus has said and accomplished for us and for the world. We are in the footsteps of the early disciples. We receive the same word and act according to it.
Prayer
Spirit of God, don't put me on my own. Don't leave me to myself. Fill me with your simple truth and give me courage in all that I say and do. I pray in the name of Christ. Amen.
