[:en]THE ADVOCATE
When Jesus was nearing His last hours on earth, he shared with His disciples to help them understand His death and ascension. He promised them to send the Holy Spirit, an advocate who would be with them, teaching, testifying and guiding them.
Those who have accepted God’s offer of new life have been given the gift of His Spirit living within us. The Holy Spirit convicts us of our sins and helps us to repent. He brings us comfort, gives us strength to bear hardships and wisdom to understand God’s teachings. He teaches us to have faith, love and hope. Let us rejoice that Jesus sent us the Advocate. – (Amy Boucher Pye)[:]
