Tuesday, November 13th, 2007 - The Sound of Music

I am a huge fan of the movie - The Sound of Music. I apologize to those who haven't seen it, but it is about a nun who is sent to help a Captain who has 7 children, yes 7 children, but who was a widow. There is a particular scene where the governess- Fraulein Maria, had left the Captain's home, and given her personality, she had been one to always cheer up the home and make the children feel better - even during thunder storms.

And so on this particular day, the children were unhappy, and were wondering, what would Fraulein Maria say in a situation like this. Now, the disciples were also in a somewhat similar situation when Jesus told them that He was leaving and they were sorrowful. But He left them with a promise. I mean, He was the Prince of peace, who always made things seem better - He calmed their storms, helped them rise back up when they backed down from their adventures, provided food for myriads of people, healed the sick, raised the death, and brought righteousness, peace, and joy. He thus said to them,

"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." John 14v26

Wondering what Jesus, the Prince of peace is saying about a particular situation, why don't you ask the Comforter, who is the Holy Ghost, who is in you and dwells in you.

Have a blessed day.
