CENTRAL TRUTH: The Holy Spirit is the greatest Comforter.

INTRODUCTION: The word ‘Comfort’ reminds us of so many good things we imagine we can have in our times of discomfort and pain. It means a state of physical case and freedom from pain or constraint. Oftentimes, comfort is well appreciated in a time of distress or pain like having a shoulder to cry on or something that will make us forget our cares and worries while giving us a feeling of contentment. This is the role the Holy Spirit plays in our lives. The Holy Spirit is the Comforter, whom Jesus promised to send to His disciples after He was crucified. This Comforter, Jesus said, would guide all believers into all Truth. He would remain forever with us and give us Comfort especially when the journey of salvation is lonely and tough.
