Bible Verse
“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
Meaning
This verse is an affirmation from Jesus about the role of the Holy Spirit as our advocate, teacher, and reminder. It shows that the Holy Spirit is sent by God to shine light on our path, teaching us the knowledge we need to have an intimate relationship with God, and always reminding us of Jesus’ teachings.
It is important to remember that in the original Greek text, the term “advocate” is “paraclete” which means “one who is called alongside to help”. This explains that The Holy Spirit isn’t just a distant, ethereal concept but indeed a personal helper, promised by Jesus Himself.
