“If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever- the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.”

John 14:15 – 17

These words of our Lord Jesus are precious beyond thought.  They are as true today as ever.  After Jesus offers his life for the forgiveness of sins, He will send the Holy Spirit as a gift divine.  The major purpose of the Holy Spirit is to reveal truth to us, ordinary human beings, the very truth of God Almighty.

Jesus and all that he brings are now for all men and women, no matter what culture or tribe or religion.  And, glory be, we are included in this huge promise of grace.

The great gift is that the Holy Spirit lives with us and will be in us.  Is this not the greatest good news our ears have heard?  The Holy Spirit of God wants to be with us.  If we are willing to be with Him, then life becomes life indeed, now and forever.
