What will the Spirit bring that isn't already shown in Christ's Life

John 16:12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”

Tom, doesn't this passage mean all truth was not revealed during Christ's life on earth?

Bob
This passage means that later (after the crucifixion and ressurection) the Holy Spirit would guide the disciples into understandings they were at the time of Jesus' discourse unready to grasp.

And it also means that the Holy Spirit is to be our guide individually not someone else.
