Have you ever tried to recall a conversation a few days or weeks after it happened? How about a few years after? Can you quote what was said verbatim or do you just summarize what was said?
Many new Christians question how the writers of the New Testament were able to put down Jesus' teachings so many years after they happened. Now you have to remember, pencils and paper weren't available to the common man and tape recorders were thousands of years in the future. How is it that they can tell us exactly what He did, what He said and the reaction of those around Him with such confidence?
John 14:26 tells us:
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My Name, He shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." We can trust what the Bible tells us because God Himself dictated and brought it into "remembrance" to those who were commissioned to write it down for us. Now, who can question God's memory?
