[NLT] John 15:26 “But I will send you the Advocate—the
Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about
me.
Last time we saw that Jesus came as the Everlasting Father
to give effect to His Will (Testament) through His death. Now a Will can only
be read by a Lawyer - the Lawyer of the deceased. So Jesus sent His Lawyer
(Advocate) in the person of the Holy Spirit.
Like a criminal who runs at the site of a policeman only to
realise that the Policeman is his elder brother returning home, many have
misconstrued the Holy Spirit. Contrary to what some folks have accepted, the
Holy Spirit did not come to point fingers at your sins. He only came to deliver
Good News.
An Advocate is someone who defends the course of another
person. So Jesus rightly said of the Holy Spirit, "...He will testify of
Me." Yes, the Holy Spirit came to reveal all that belongs to Jesus to us.
There are no conditions attached to the inheritance so He is not going to find
out whether you've been a good boy/girl. His role is to make sure you have
EVERYTHING Jesus willed to you, without questions asked.
After He has testified of Jesus, He stays with you as your
Advocate to testify of you as a legitimate child of God whenever any accuser
comes to question your identity/legitimacy.
Beloved, the Holy Spirit is the Family Lawyer. He is for
you, not against you. Shalom!!!
