The Spirit of truth

“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on His own; He will speak only what He heards, and He will tell you what is yet to come.” John 16:13
Truth is a powerful thing. When we know the truth, it sets us free (John 8:32). Jesus tells the disciples here, that the Holy Spirit is coming after His departure. When He comes, He would guide them into all truth. This is not just truth that is told to us from the outside, but also an inner witness through the Spirit indwelling us as to what is truth and what is falsehood.
The Holy Spirit’s role is not to glorify Himself, but to glorify the Son. Uunfortunately the church has taken two extremes over this. In so many Pentecostal churches, the emphasis is on the Holy Spirit, when it should instead be on Jesus Christ. Yet in other more traditional churches, the Holy Spirit is depersonalised, called an “it”, or even denied as existing. Where is the Biblical balance?
The Holy Spirit is God, in Spirit. He indwells believers and gives gifts to them to use for the glory of God. He seeks to glorify the Son (John 16:14). Just as the servant of Abraham, who fetched Rebekah as a bride for his son Isaac, is unnamed, so too the Holy Spirit is satisfied with working almost anonymously behind the scenes.
