Jesus did not speak much about the Holy Spirit until when He was about to die. One of the profoundest thing He said about the Holy Spirit is that He called Him "another Paraclete" translated 'another comforter' in Bible. This expression is from the Greek words "alos parakletos" - another Paraclete - this does not mean another kind of Paraclete; Jesus means a Paraclete exactly like myself.
The Greek word 'parakletos' means an advocate, helper, comforter, counsellor, intercessor, guardian, friend, provider, teacher - All of these describe who Jesus was to the disciples, that is exactly who the Holy Spirit was, to the disciples and that is who He is to us today.
The believer could not have a valid reason for feeling lonely, helpless, hopeless, rejected and forsaken - because the Holy Spirit in Him, is "all-sufficient".
What a life! The all-sufficient God has come to dwell in us by His Spirit (1 John 3:24, 4:13). glad?
