John 14:26  But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

They called Hetty Green "the Witch of Wall Street." She died in 1916, leaving an estate valued at well over $2 billion dollars (as valued today). Yet, every morning, Hetty ate cold oatmeal because she didn't want to pay money to heat it. Her son had his leg amputated because she didn;t want to pay money to treat him. Hetty Green was rich, but if you saw her, you'd swear she was dirt poor.

How often do we say, "Poor me"? "Poor me, I don't have the resources to deal with this." "Poor me, I don't have the wisdom to solve this." "Poor me, I don;t have the power to conquer this." In John 14, Jesus speaks to the disciples about His departure. Their response? "Poor me!"

Jesus says that His going away is necessary. Only then will His Father send the Helper - the Holy Spirit, who teaches us to remember everything Jesus has said.

We are incredibly rich! God the Holy Spirit helps us see our sin and need for the Savior. Even more so, He shows us the great riches we have in Christ Jesus.

Why do we live as though we are dirt poor? As if we don't have hope or a prayer? Do the math. Add up everything Jesus has done, is doing, and will do for us. What do you get? We are rich! Exceedingly and forever rich!
