INTRODUCTION

After the Last supper and washing of the feet of the disciples by Jesus before the feast of the Passover, he revealed the betrayal to them and began to tell them about his departure. Jesus told them of going to prepare a place for them. Jesus realized they had little knowledge of him and cautioned them. He promised that although he would be forced to leave them, the Father would provide “another Comforter.” Up to this point, the Lord himself had been their source of support during his ministry. Jesus told his disciples that the Holy Spirit will teach, guide, reveal things to them and bring to their remembrance things he had taught them before. Jesus knew the importance of the Holy Spirit in his disciples’ life. He even instructed them not to leave Jerusalem until they had received the holy spirit. The holy spirit is very important in the life of a believer because after the disciples received the holy spirit, they were bold, brave and more spirit-filled than when Jesus was with them. Life came into them, and they were not timid after they had received the holy spirit.
