Resurrection: the Helper by ric gustafson
John 14:16-20 explains that Jesus told his disciples that he was leaving. He promised them that he would send a Helper to abide in them forever. Jesus sits at the Father's right hand but through the Holy Spirit, dwells in us. The Holy Spirit helps us to live like Christ and to truly live in him. The Holy Spirit helps us to glorify Jesus and to do his kingdom work. The Holy Spirit's presence helps us to proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, teach his Word and care for others. The Holy Spirit helps us to be more like Jesus.
Romans 8:16-17 says as children of God, we are fellow heirs with him. The Holy Spirit helps us to have an intimate relationship with Jesus. We need to rely on God's Words instead of our own feelings. Christ needs to be the anchor in our lives through all of our challenges and trials. He sends his Helper to those who will accept him and follow him.
