The Human Camera

The Human Camera

[The Holy Spirit] will remind you of everything I have said to you (JOHN 14:26).

1 John 1:1-5

Reading

Steven Wiltshire has been nicknamed “the human camera”. He can remember tiny details about anything he has seen and then draw them. For example, after Steven was flown over the city of Rome, he was asked to draw the city centre on blank paper. Amazingly he accurately drew from memory the winding streets, the buildings, the windows and other tiny details.

Steven’s memory is incredible. But there’s another kind of memory that’s even more amazing—and much more important. Before Jesus went back to heaven, He promised His friends that He would send the Holy Spirit to remind them of everything He taught: “[He] will remind you of everything I have said to you” (JOHN 14:26).

Jesus’ friends heard His amazing and powerful teaching. They heard Him tell the blind to see, the deaf to hear and the dead to come back to life. Yet when the Bible writers wrote down these events, their words were not just their own. Their memory of the events came from the Holy Spirit who made sure they created a trustworthy record of Jesus’ life.

Trust the Bible with confidence. It was written with guidance from God Himself.

THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL HELP US READ, UNDERSTAND AND REMEMBER THE BIBLE.
