  Advocate. Counselor. Helper. Which is it? (Defining the Holy Spirit)

  Jesus is in the Upper Room with the disciples. He knows He’s leaving there to be betrayed, tried, and crucified. And He wants to offer encouragement to these disciples that something better is coming. He tells them about the Holy Spirit. But He uses a Greek word that means so much, it’s impossible to translate into English. And this is exactly as it should be. I’ll prove it to you in less than 10 minutes.

  The Same Spirit That Raised Jesus From the Dead

  It's pretty clear that something has changed in Peter. This failed disciple who spent Jesus trial cowering in the corner has now stood before the greatest religious leaders of Israel and declared allegiance to Jesus. But while that's exciting, it isn't discipleship. And Peter knows it. If he truly is Jesus' disciple, it's time to show it to the world. But now, the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead had filled Peter. It was time for him to show that he could be what Jesus believed he could be. I'll prove it to you in less than 10 minutes.

I'll prove it to you in less than 10 minutes.
