Amen, John chapter 14, the part of the chapter I want to focus on is there beginning in verse number 16 where the Bible reads, and I will pray the Father and he shall give you another comforter that he may abide with you forever. I want to preach about the comforter tonight, the comforter. Now the word comforter in the Bible has a little bit broader of a meaning than the way we would use it today in 2021. Obviously today's meaning of comforter, you'd probably think of someone at a funeral, maybe someone has died and people are sad and so people come to comfort them, make them feel better or sympathize with them. And that is certainly one of the meanings of comforter that's used in the Bible because Job talks about how his three friends are miserable comforters and so that's part of comfort but also the word comfort includes strengthening, exhorting, encouraging, comforting, it means all of these things and you could look at the word comfort and see that the last four letters of comfort are fort, you know we think of a fort or a fortress as being something strong, imparting strength and that's what the Holy Spirit's ministry is when he indwells the New Testament believer.
