Reminded

Therefore, when He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said. John 2:22

At the time Jesus had said He would rebuild this temple in three days, the disciples no more believed Him than the Pharisees did. That just cannot be, we want to say. And yet here John admits years later that they needed a crucifixion, a resurrection, several appearances from Him, and finally a reminder in the outpouring of the Spirit of God before finally believing the word which Jesus had said. John only wrote of the resurrection in this verse, but with Jesus it all comes together like a package of heavenly blessings.

And by His Holy Spirit we are reminded (John 14:26).
