“When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth … He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.” John 16:13-14 (ESV)

Before Jesus submitted himself to the cross, He spent the previous evening sharing privately with His disciples important lessons they would need in the coming hours, days and years. Among those teachings, Jesus shared some specific teachings about the Holy Spirit.

Jesus used multiple terms to refer to the Holy Spirit, each descriptive of the Spirit’s role. “The Helper” or “Comforter” coming from the Greek word for ‘defender’ such as legal counsel or a battle buddy, to help in difficult situations...
