Jesus Pre-Cross Crash Course

However, when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it to you.
JOHN 16:13-14 AKJV
Have you ever crammed for a "now or never" exam? On Bible? Unless you're a seminary student, probably not. But you were thrust into such a situation? You'd probably panic. That's no doubt how the disciples felt the evening they enjoyed the Last Supper with the Lord Jesus. Up until the end, evening had been warm and personal there was even that touching moment when Jesus washed their feet. But the mood shifted when Jesus spoke those strange words to Judas, "What you are about to do, do quickly." Judas left and from that point on, the tone of the evening changed. It was as if the Lord realized He had pressing things to say and only a short time in which to say them.
    He spoke about vines and branches, peace and persecution. So much packed into those few hours! How would the disciples remember it all? Jesus knew their dismay. But the Lord also knew that everything would become clear. That's why He promised them the Holy Spirit. The Spirit would be teacher and guide.
     Are you any different from the disciple? Not really Sometimes you  feel that God is pouring million- gallon of truth's into your one-ounce brain! Spirit will help you to understand. He will bring God's to your mind and memory, making all thing clear
