John 16:13

Pastor John,

I wanted to write and tell about what happened tonight on the way to the mountains. We were driving through some curvy roads. It was a beautiful sunset. I started have this feeling I have never felt this before. I was praying inside myself, not out loud. I was praying about our trip and for Jesus to keep us all safe, but it was as if I could feel death. I have never felt this before and didn’t understand why I even knew to think it was death. We came around a curve, and you could see there was an accident. Everything looked in slow motion. No one was running around frantic or anything, but it was bad. Someone was on motorcycle and had been thrown off of it across the street, and was tangled in a railing. It must have just happened. There were no emergency people on the scene yet. It was all a matter of minutes from the time I started having that feeling, coming around that curve.

I am so thankful to Jesus for keeping us safe. I have never felt anything like that before.

Hi Jammie,

Jesus told his disciples that when the Spirit came from heaven and filled those who believe in him, it would show them “things to come” (Jn. 16:13). “Things to come” includes more than the epochal events of revelation. It includes what is just around the corner for each of us. The Spirit showed you a “thing to come”, and it shows all of us many such things so that we can glorify God and praise Him for the help He gives us in this very dangerous world.
