The Wild Sweep of Communion

A message from the series “Journeying with John: Signs of Faith, Part Nine”, given by Barb Bushart on Feb. 26, 2017.

Jesus assures his disciples that they will not be left as orphans even when he has physically departed from earth. He promises the Holy Spirit: variously named as Comforter, Advocate, Helper, one who walks alongside. While these are all potent images of relationship, Christ goes on to describe how the believer is swept into the divine “communion” of the Trinity by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Never alone… abiding in God!
