I. The Personality of the Holy Spirit
There are many different things to learn about the Holy Spirit.
In this study we will learn about & ask questions like:
* What does the word comfortless mean in John 14:18?
* What is the promise given to us from Jesus in John 14:16-18?
* Who is the Holy Spirit?
· What are the different characteristics of the Holy Spirit?
· What are the personal treatments accorded to the Holy Spirit?
· How does the Holy Spirit act as a person?
· Why are these facts important to us?
· What should our goal be as we seek the Holy Spirit?
The disciples learned to trust in Jesus as the Master of every situation.
When you had Him around you didn’t have to worry about something going wrong; you knew He would take care of everything.
· Is it time to pay taxes?
No problem, the Master tells Jesus to “Go catch a fish and take the coin out of its mouth and pay the taxes.”
· Are you short on food?
Not to worry.
Here is a little boy with five loaves and two fish
· Maybe the Pharisees are trying to trip you up in some technical questions.
Don’t sweat it, Jesus will handle them, just leave it to the Master.
· What if you’re out on a stormy sea in danger of sinking?
Don’t worry, Jesus has the power to calm the storm & bring you safely into His desired haven.
It’s always great to have Jesus around!
That’s the lesson the disciples learned over and over for 3 wonderful years.
They discovered that Jesus was an amazingly handy person to have around.
They never had to worry when Jesus was present.
They learned to relax and be confident because they knew the Lord was there to help.
!! A. Changes in the Wind – Read John 13:36-14:1-18
1.
Jesus is making it clear that He is about to go to the cross to be crucified.
a) They don’t want Him to go away & their hearts fill with fear – /John 14:1/
/(1) //They were troubled and afraid, what will they do without Jesus?
/
(a) Jesus answers their unspoken question (John 14:16-18)
2.
Explain the word “comfortless” in John 14:18.
a) /orphanous, /literally “orphans”/ /
/(1) //What was the promise given to us in John 14:16-18?/
(a) “I will not leave you orphans” (v.18)
(b) To keep that promise He would pray to the Father and ask Him to give the disciples another /“helper”/ or /“comforter”./
/(a) //Comforter /in the Greek is translated /parakletos./
/ /
· /Para/ is the Greek preposition for /“with”/ or /“alongside of,”/ while /kletos/ is the word for /“called.”/
· This helper will come alongside them to help them.
B.
The Spirit Has Characteristics of Personhood
1.
The Holy Spirit is a person.
a) He is a person whom you can enjoy a personal relationship with.

· He is a person who can speak to you and to whom you can speak to.
· He is a person who can guide you, help you, strengthen you, & teach you the truth of God.
· He is the agent-representative whom God works through today in the world, the church and the believer.
b) He possesses the same essential qualities that Jesus does—divinity, and personality.
· /“another”/ in John 14:16 means “of the same kind or equal quality”; “of the same order”.
· Jesus says, Just as I was with you and took care of every situation for you, so now the Holy Spirit
· will be with you & take care of every situation for you.
2.
For a being to be considered a person, he or she must possess certain characteristics.
