#15 Spirit's Identity

It's hard for us flesh-and-blood humans to comprehend the Holy Spirit. Maybe that's because my dictionary defines "comprehend" with words like, grasp, encompass and comprise; and the Spirit resists being put in a box of our making. But the New Testament has many terms that describe what the Spirit does. Here's a sampling:

• Counselor (that's what Jesus called the Spirit when he predicted his own death) - https://biblehub.com/john/16-8.htm
