Hello, students! Welcome back to our Bible study class. In our previous lesson, we learned about the importance of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Today, we are going to learn about a special promise that Jesus made to His followers. This promise is very important for us as Christians because it helps us understand how God continues to be with us today.
### Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to: * Understand who the Holy Spirit is. * Know why Jesus promised the Holy Spirit to us. * Explain how the Holy Spirit helps us in our daily lives.
### The Promise of the Comforter
This lesson focuses on the Holy Spirit, who is also called “The Comforter.” 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, “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever.”
#### The Role of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit has many roles in our lives. He helps us understand God’s 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.
#### The Holy Spirit in Our Lives
The Holy Spirit is very active in our lives today. He helps us pray, understand the Bible, and share God’s love with others. When we feel lost or confused, the Holy Spirit guides us and shows us the right way to go.
