“YOU HAVE A FRIEND”                        John 14:15-21


It does make a difference when someone comes alongside us when we are in need.


  • That is the work of the Holy Spirit.
  • In some moments the Holy Spirit comes with power.
At other times,
  • The Holy Spirit comes as guide.


But there are times when we need
  • A friend,
  • A counselor,
  • A comforter.
  • Then the Holy Spirit serves in those capacities as well.


But why does Jesus say, “I will give you ANOTHER advocate . . .”


The writer of John wants us to understand that
  • The same Spirit that was in Christ
  • Is the Spirit that will be with us in our time of need.


John is very clear that
  • This is why Christ departed from this world
  • So that his Spirit could be available to every person in this world
      
In other words,
  • It is God Himself who comes alongside us any time we are hurting or in distress. 
  • Whenever we are hurting, he comes alongside us.


The Holy Spirit is the one who falls down beside us--
  • The very Spirit of God,
  • The breath of God,
  • The mind of God,
  • Invading the life of the believer


This teaching is reinforced as he continues to say in this passage,
“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 ADVOCATE is the HOLY SPIRIT
