I don’t know about you, but I sure need a lot of help...
But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. John 15:26
Here, Jesus not only describes the union of the Godhead: Father, Son, and Spirit – He declares that Help is on the way!
The Help or Helper Jesus speaks of is the Person of the Holy Spirit. I have long been convinced that trying to live the Christian life without the Spirit’s power is like trying to live it with both hands tied behind my back. Pretty near impossible to do, or to do well.
Parakletos – the Greek Word here means: Comforter, Consoler, Intercessor, Advocate, One called alongside to help.
Read the Book of Acts again. Read it with fresh eyes and a hungry heart. God’s Word tells us that Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever Hebrews 13:8. Well, so is the Holy Spirit. All we have to do is ask for Him Luke 11:13.
Again, I don’t know about you, but I sure need a lot of Help...
