Life of Christ Lesson 157: Holy Spirit’s Comforting Ministry!

From The Caldwell Commentaries Podcast Caldwell Commentaries

John 15:26-16:7 There is much confusion today in this world about the third Member of the Triune Godhead, so the lessons on the Holy Spirit, given to His disciples on the night of His arrest as part of His "Farewell Discourse," are critical for our proper understanding the ministry and the function (role) of the Spirit. In the previous lesson (#156), the Lord's subject dealt with the hateful opposition of the world toward the Church (Christians). His next subject was "The Ministries of the Holy Spirit" both to and through the Church in the world. Christ spoke of three particular functions (roles) of the Spirit: as Comforter (this lesson), as Reprover, and as Teacher. This lesson is about His role, to the Church, as Comforter - a very important role for believers today as we face increasing persecution worldwide!
