The Comfort of the Spirit (II).
"And I will pray the Father, and He
shall give you another Comforter, so that
He
may be with you forever, the Spirit of Truth,
whom the world cannot receive because it does
not see Him nor know Him. But
you know Him,
for He dwells with you and shall be in
you. I
will not leave you orphans. I will come to
you. Yet a little while and the world does
not see Me any more. But you see Me. Because
I live, you shall live also." (John
14:16-19 MKJV.)
One of the beautiful things about the Bible
is the repeated use of types, shadows,
symbolisms and representations to convey
spiritual truth to us. Not surprisingly
therefore, the Holy Spirit is symbolized in
various ways in the Scriptures, and each of
these emblems has a deep spiritual significance.
Let's take a look at a few of these
emblems...
1. Water: "He
that believeth on me,
as the scripture hath said, out of his belly
shall flow rivers of living water.
(But this
spake he of the Spirit, which they that
believe on him should receive: for the Holy
Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus
was not yet glorified.)" (John 7:38-39).
THE WATER SYMBOLISM IS INDICATIVE OF
THE FACT THAT THE HOLY GHOST IS FERTILIZING,
REFRESHING, CLEANSING, AND FREELY GIVEN.
2. Rain and Dew:
"Then
shall we know, if we follow on to know the
LORD: his going forth is prepared as the
morning; and he shall come unto us as the
rain, as the latter and former rain unto
the earth. He shall come down like
rain upon the mown grass: as
showers that water the earth."
(Hosea
6:3; Psalms 72:6).
AS RAIN/DEW, THE HOLY SPIRIT IS
REFRESHING, ABUNDANT, FERTILIZING, AND
SOMETIMES IMPERCEPTIBLE.
3. Fire: "And
there appeared unto them cloven tongues like
as of fire, and it sat upon each of
them." (Acts 2:3).
AS FIRE, THE HOLY SPIRIT IS
PURIFYING, ILLUMINATING, SEARCHING, REFINING
AND KINDLING.
4. Wind: "And
suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of
a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the
house where they were sitting." (Acts 2:2).
THE WIND SYMBOLISM POINTS TO THE
POWERFUL, REVIVING, AND INDEPENDENT NATURE OF
THE SPIRIT.

Holy Humor.
A pastor went out one Saturday to visit his
church members. At one house, it was obvious
that someone was home, but nobody came to the
door even though the preacher knocked several
times. Finally, the preacher took out his
card, wrote out "Revelation 3:20" on the back
of it, and stuck it in the door.
Behold, I stand at the door and
knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the
door, I will come in to him and dine with
him, and he with me. - Revelation 3:20
The next day, the card turned up in
the collection plate. Below the preacher's
message was written the following notation:
I heard your voice in the garden, and
I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid
myself. - Genesis 3:10
