John 14:17

John 14:17. Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Do you not notice how this verse contradicts the current thought of the period about "the spirit of the age" being so much in advance of the Spirit of all past ages? Listen again to these words of our Lord: "The Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive." The world is always receiving one form of falsehood or another; tossed to and fro, and never abiding long in one stay, it cries, "This is the truth," or "That is the truth," or "Now we have it; this is the truth." But Christ says, "The Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you."
