Jesus shares the ownership of everything that belongs to God the Father.  The Holy Spirit does not give His independent opinion on anything but expresses the truth from Jesus, direct to people’s hearts.  And the Father expresses Himself to people through the Spirit and the Son (John 14:26).  The wonderful truth about the relationship between God the Father, Son and Spirit is that They are One in thought and purpose, and They work seamlessly together as Almighty God.

Although Jesus would be physically removed from being alongside the disciples, to go to the Father (John 15:16), when the Holy Spirit came to be inside each of them they would continue to explore and grow in their relationship with Jesus.  Although Jesus would not be physically present after His return to the Father, and the world would not see Him, the disciples would still ‘see’ Him and enjoy His company as the Holy Spirit indwelt them (John 14:16-19).

God has arranged Himself in such a way that nobody has any excuse to say they could not get to know Him.  Unlike many religious philosophies, which demand particular codes of behaviour or pious activity, God has enabled all who will believe to come directly to Himself through Jesus Christ, as the Holy Spirit explains the gospel to our hearts.

Although we live thousands of years after Christ, we can still get to know Jesus and experience all the blessings of God - as the Holy Spirit brings us to know the truth and helps us to trust Jesus.  Although it might seem rather complicated to us, God does all the arranging; we just have to come in faith and humility!
