The Comforter Has Come | AS BOLD AS LIONS DEVOTIONAL | June 30, 2023
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 14:26
In the Bible, the Holy Spirit has several descriptive titles one of which is the “Comforter.” For today’s verse, I specifically chose the King James Version as His title is translated Comforter here. Other translations use similar words such as Helper, Counselor, Companion, and so on. In this verse, Jesus is reassuring His followers. He will be returning to Heaven. But the Father will send them the Holy Spirit and He will be with them, teaching them and guiding them as they go forth with the Gospel.
We do well to study these attributes of the Holy Spirit because we have full access to them when we accept Christ. In John 14, Jesus explains that He leaves us with peace. He leaves us with an ability to remember His [Christ’s] words. Really these things come to us because of the indwelling Holy Spirit. In short, the Holy Spirit gives empowerment for daily living as Christ followers. We sometimes lack an awareness of the Spirit or just shy away because we misunderstand His role in the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is what comes in and lives inside of us when we make a declaration of faith in Jesus. What a blessing it is to know, the Comforter has come…the promise is fulfilled!
Question for today: Do I misunderstand the role of the Holy Spirit in my life? How can I read the Bible in a way to help my understanding grow?
Pray: Thank You Lord for sending us the Comforter! May He bring peace and an awareness of what Christ has taught us through His word.
