Need Comfort?

N.T.#788  "Need Comfort?"

May 1, 2026 

John 15-Part 8

LET IT GLOW 

Needs some hope today? some comfort? The Holy Spirit gives strength to endure the unreasonable hatred and evil in our world and the hostility many have toward Christ. This is especially comforting for those facing persecution. 

Jesus gives two names for the Holy Spirit-Comforter and Spirit of Truth. 

Comforter refers to intercessor; advocate; consoler. 

He helps, encourages, strengthens, intercedes for us to the Father. 

The Spirit of Truth points to the teaching, illuminating, and reminding work of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit ministers to both the head and the heart.

Be careful that suffering does not bring doubt. Are we relying upon the Holy Spirit today?

LET IT GROW 

We need to rely upon the Holy Spirit to supply wisdom, abilities, and courage. He provides for believers to faithfully bear witness of Jesus Christ. We need to stand firm and proclaim the divine truth. The only way to heaven is through faith in Jesus as Savior.

Are we standing firm on our faith in Jesus?

Don't run away; don't back off. 

LET IT GO 

Let the Comforter intercede for you and console you.
