Jesus promised that even though He would no longer be physically with us, we would not be left on our own. In John 14:16, He says, And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever. Here, the Greek word translated as “Helper” or “Comforter” is Parakletos, meaning “one who comes alongside.” This is the Spirit’s role in our lives—one who guides, strengthens, and comforts us, even in our darkest moments.

Theologically, the Holy Spirit as Comforter means He is our divine helper, advocate, and sustainer. As Puritan pastor Thomas Watson wrote, “The Spirit is called the Comforter because it is His special office to give consolation to us in our trials, to draw the soul closer to Christ, and to seal God’s love in our hearts.” The Spirit’s comfort is deep and lasting, drawing us closer to Jesus and filling us with the assurance of God’s unchanging love.

When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. (John 16:13 )

John Piper; “The role of the Holy Spirit is to awaken us to see the glory of Christ, to guide us in all truth, and to sustain our faith when trials come.” (Desiring God by John Piper, p. 67.)

Teach me to do your will, for you are my God! Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground! (Psalm 143:10)

He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen. (1 Timothy 6:15-16)

R.C. Sproul states: “When we say ‘Jesus is King,’ we are declaring that all authority in heaven and on earth belongs to Him. Every knee will bow to Him, either now in reverence or in the future at judgment.” (R.C. Sproul, “The Holiness of God”) All the kings mentioned in the Old Testament and in the modern age will bow before Jesus.

Charles Spurgeon states this about Christ as King: “If Christ be King, He has dominion over our hearts and lives. Every Christian is called to bow to Him in every area, recognizing no higher authority than the King of kings.” (Charles H. Spurgeon, Sermon #508, “The King’s Highway Opened and Cleaned)
