The Comforter

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
A comforter: Comforter means one that gives comfort. Comfort means give strength and hope to; to ease grief or trouble. What a blessing to have one that gives comfort and eases grief and trouble in this world today.

Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
The Comforter is the Spirit of Truth. The world (those in sin) cannot receive this comforter. Going through hard things, but not having the comfort that God wants to give.
But, those who are truly saved (saved from sin) can know him and receive this comfort, because they have been sancitified with his spirit and he dwells in them. A comfort that goes beyond any human comfort.

I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Praise God to have his comfort.
Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. He lives in us.
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself to him. He loves us.

John 14: 16-21
