The Spirit within us guarantees that we’re never alone.
Read John 14:15-27
May 20-21, 1927, marked a turning point in aviation history as Charles Lindbergh made the first-ever solo, nonstop, trans-Atlantic flight. There had been other flights across the Atlantic, but none were accomplished by a pilot flying alone. It was a historical achievement. When Lindbergh landed at Le Bourget Field in Paris, he was thronged by thousands of admirers applauding his success. And when he returned to America, he was further honoured with parades and awards in celebration of his individual courage and spirit.
Even though Lindbergh’s solo flight was dangerous, living in this fallen world of ours can be far more so. Followers of Christ, however, can be encouraged and comforted that we never have to “fly solo”. The night before His crucifixion, Jesus promised that He would not abandon us but would send His spirit to be with us and in us (vv 16-17). The apostle Paul later affirmed this, saying, “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells within you”. (1 Corinthians 3:16).
Is a world filled with despair and trouble, we can take courage. The Holy Spirit lives within us, providing us with His peace and comfort (vv 26-27). Aren’t you thankful that you never have to fly solo?
