The Comfort of the Holy Spirit
I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever.
John 14:16 kjv Scripture reading: John 14:15–31
Jesus knew that He was going away and that, if He went away, it was expedient, it was necessary, it was important that Another come in His place and continue guiding and teaching them as He had been (John 16:7, 14 kjv). “You in Me, and I in you” (John 14:20). There was a plan of divine order. So the Holy Spirit was to come.
How could they be comforted? The Holy Spirit would take the word of Christ and reveal it to them (John 16:14). What could help them as much as a word by the Spirit? For
the Spirit is breath, is life, is person, is power. He gives the breath of Himself to us, the nature of Him. How beautiful that, when the Spirit came, He should be called the “Spirit of truth” (John 14:17). Oh, if we would only let that truth sink deep into our hearts! Amen
