This lesson focuses on the Holy Spirit, who is also called โThe Comforter.โ The Holy Spirit is a vital part of our faith, and understanding His role is crucial for our spiritual growth.
#### What is the Holy Spirit?
The Holy Spirit is the third person in the Godhead, meaning He is one of the three persons of God. The other two are God the Father and God the Son (Jesus Christ). The Holy Spirit is just as important and powerful as the Father and the Son.
#### Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
Jesus knew that after He went back to heaven, His followers would need help to continue spreading His teachings and living good lives. So, He promised to send the Holy Spirit to be with them. This promise is found in John 14:16, where Jesus says, โAnd I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever.โ
#### The Role of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit has many roles in our lives. He helps us understand Godโs Word, gives us strength to do what is right, and comforts us when we are sad or scared. This is why the Holy Spirit is also called the Comforter.
