The Advocate


 “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will
send in my name, will teach you all things and
will remind you of everything I have said to you.”
John 14:26

“Jesus promised the disciples that the Holy Spirit would help them remember what he been teaching them.  The disciples were eye witnesses of Jesus’ life and teachings, and the Holy Spirit helped them remember without taking away their individual perspectives.  The Holy Spirit can help us in the same way.  As we study the Bible, we can trust him to plant truth in our mind, convince us of God’s will, and remind us when we stray from it.

The end result of the Holy Spirit’s work in our lives is deep and lasting peace.  With Christ’s peace, we have no need to fear the present or the future, sin, fear, uncertainty, doubt, and numerous other forces and offer comfort in place of conflict.  Jesus says he will give us that peace if we are willing to accept it from him.  If your life is full of stress, allow the Holy Spirit to fill you with Christ’s peace.”
