Sunday, we looked at the passage in John 15 where Jesus promises the Holy Spirit. He says that He will send another helper to be with us forever (v16.) In verse 26 of the same chapter, Jesus says that the Holy Spirit will teach us all things. We greatly need a comforter, a helper, and an advocate in today’s world.
Jesus is our advocate with the Father. He has taken upon himself our sin and given us forgiveness. We need also the Holy Spirit who is to come alongside us and guide us into all truth.
In our deepest troubles and even from day to day the Spirit prompts our minds to think about the Words of God and His promises. The Spirit brings to our minds the assured guaranteed promises of God. In these promises, we find great comfort. We find peace.
And as the world changes, you’ll always have the Holy Spirit with you. Jesus said, “forever.” The Holy Spirit dwells among us and in us so that we are never left without God’s presence directing us and guiding us in times of trouble and in times of joy.
