“Heaven’s Ambassador – The Holy Spirit” An ambassador is an official representative of one government sent to another to live among its people, to accomplish a mission of peace and good will. He fulfills his duties with the authority, generosity and resources of the government he represents. With utmost trust imparted to him, he accomplishes his purpose with dignity and to completion. In many ways, the Holy Spirit's mission resembles that of an ambassador from Heaven. The Holy Spirit embodies all the authority, power and resources of God, and expresses and reveals God's love to every person on earth through His presence and His work. As Jesus' time with His disciples was coming to a close, He told them they would not be left alone after He was gone. He told them of One who would be sent in His place to be with them, to guide them, teach them, comfort them and lead them - the Holy Spirit. Jesus said: "Unless I go away, the Counselor (Holy Spirit) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you." John 16:7 After Jesus' work on earth was complete, He sent the Holy Spirit to be with us in his place until he returns again. The Holy Spirit provides guidance, leadership, comfort and counsel over our lives. Jesus described the Holy Spirit to His disciples in this way: "But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." John 14:26 God's presence is with us today in the form of the Holy Spirit, and He is actively at work in our world and in our lives.
