(Nuggets from John 14:26)
The Greek word for the Holy Spirit is Parakletos - He will be our Protector, our Confidante, Advisor and most of all, He will be our Friend! Jesus did not leave us alone? No - The Holy Spirit is a Friend who sticks closer than a brother. You will find that in Proverbs 18:24. We never need to be lonely; He is always with us. Jesus promised us, before He went to Heaven, not to leave us as orphans, helpless. You will see that in John 14:18. That is why He sent His Holy Spirit.
When Jesus left the earth, after His resurrection, He said to the disciples, “I will not leave you as orphans. I will send you a Comforter, a Parakletos (which is the Greek word for comforter, a friend, a helper). One who will not leave you, who is with you 24 hours a day. Now that is a friend! One, who will be with you through thick and thin, when everybody else leaves you, He will still be there. There are no orphans in the Kingdom of God because we have the Holy Spirit.
Now, the Holy Spirit, you need to understand, is part of the Holy Trinity. We as Christians, believers, followers of The Way, believe that there is a Father, a Son and a Holy Spirit. Now, the Holy Spirit is equal to the Father and to the Son. Oh yes! No, He is not second-class, He is extremely powerful and He is the only one who can comfort you when you are feeling lost, in pain, and dazed with the troubles of life.
Never underestimate the Holy Spirit. You know, we are very quick to talk about God our Father, and we are very quick to talk about our friend, the Lord Jesus Christ but very often we forget about the Holy Spirit who is the Third Person in the Holy Trinity.
MAKE THE HOLY SPIRIT YOUR COMPANION TODAY AND YOU WILL BE COMFORTED ON EVERY SIDE.
