"And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever -
the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him or knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you."
John 14:16-17 (NKJV)
Over the years, I have had many jobs doing many different things. While most of my jobs have been full-time work, I have had some part-time jobs too. The main and obvious difference between a full-time job and part-time job is the amount of time you are doing your job. And, if you are hired to work full-time, but you only show up for part of the day, or part of the time you are supposed to be working, that is not good. Full-time work means you are there to do all the work required and not just part of the work.
When Jesus was physically present on the earth, He was with His disciples and He was available to help them. Jesus taught His disciples and explained His teaching to them, and Jesus was their leader to show them where to go. When Jesus told His disciples that He was going back to the Father, Jesus said it was better for Him to go away, so that He could send the Holy Spirit, and that the Holy Spirit would be with the disciples forever. The Holy Spirit was sent to Christians to help us in the same way Jesus helped His disciples.
Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would come to be with us, and be our Helper. That is great news, but when we need help, do we turn to the Holy Spirit for His assistance? The Holy Spirit is not a part-time Helper who only helps us sometimes with some big spiritual things, the Holy Spirit is a full-time Helper who is always ready to teach us, show us what to do, and guide us in our life. The Holy Spirit is our full-time Helper, He is always with us, and He can help us in every area of our lives.
