What Jesus teaches about The Holy Spirit
Introduction
The Holy Spirit is one of the most profound yet sometimes misunderstood gifts that Jesus has given us. Have you ever felt a gentle prompting or an inexplicable peace in the midst of chaos? That’s the Holy Spirit at work in your life. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit as a helper, guide, and comforter, and gaining a deeper understanding of this promise can transform the way you experience your daily life.
In today’s devotional, we’ll explore what Jesus teaches us about the Holy Spirit. Whether you’re new to your faith or looking to deepen your spiritual journey, understanding the role of the Holy Spirit can open new dimensions of meaning and fulfillment.
Bible Verse
“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.” – John 14:26 (NASB)
Meaning
In this verse, Jesus refers to the Holy Spirit as the “Helper.” This title alone speaks volumes. The term “Helper” encompasses roles like comforter, advocate, intercessor, and counselor. The Holy Spirit is always there to guide us, instruct us, and remind us of Jesus’ teachings.
Jesus knew that after His ascension, His disciples—and we, the future believers—would need continued guidance and comfort. The Holy Spirit fulfills this role and helps us to understand and recall God’s teachings as we navigate our daily lives.
Moreover, the Holy Spirit brings God’s word to life. Those moments when a Bible verse suddenly speaks to your heart or when you feel a prompting to help someone in need are examples of the Holy Spirit’s active presence.
