Broadcast<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n While We Wait - Part 2\n John 15:26-27\n 05\/19\/2026\n\n\n 26 But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you\n from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds\n from the Father, he will bear witness about me.\n 27 And you also will bear witness, because you have\n been with me from the beginning. (ESV)\n\n Jesus, on the night He was betrayed, told His disciples:\n But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from\n the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the\n Father, he will bear witness about me. And you also\n will bear witness, because you have been with me from\n the beginning.\n\n\n Certainly the disciples knew of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit\n is mentioned in the first verses of Genesis, and is featured\n prominently in Kind David's penitential Psalm. ``Cast me not\n away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from\n me.''[1] They knew that the Holy Spirit creates the faith which\n trusts fully in God's grace, love, and mercy. After all, didn't\n Jesus tell Nicodemus, ``That which is born of the flesh is flesh,\n and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit''?\n\n Jesus called the Spirit the ``Paraclete,'' a title which\n often is translated as ``helper'' or ``advocate.'' The Paraclete\n is somewhat like a defense attorney, speaking for the accused,\n advising the accused, and teaching the accused.\n\n During this week after the Ascension, we wait for the coming\n of the Paraclete. While waiting, we prepare for our task of\n witnessing the truth of God's love to this sin-sickened world.\n Therefore the Church prays:\n O King of glory, Lord of hosts, uplifted in triumph far\n above all heavens, leave us not without consolation but\n send us the Spirit of truth whom You promised from the\n Father.\n\n\n May our Lord grant us the comfort of knowing the Paraclete,\n the Helper, comes to us for our eternal blessing. Amen.\n\n ____________________\n\n 1.
