Jesus is our advocate, and when he ascends to be with the Father he promises to send another Helper. The Holy Spirit is that helper. Many struggle with their understanding of the Spirit, thinking him to be an impersonal force or thing. But the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, and is a person. He is a person who helps us in many ways, including experiencing the heart of Jesus in both rational and relational ways. The Spirit, in all that he does, glorifies Jesus Christ. He does not and will not and cannot lead or act in a way that is contrary to the heart of Jesus and the Word. The Spirit helps us experience Jesus’s heart and the Father’s heart toward us.
