After Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead on the third day, He spent time on earth speaking to Mary and to the Apostles. He told them that He was not leaving them alone even though He was ascending to heaven to His Father. He gave us great comfort and hope, because He left us the Holy Spirit. A person of God - one of the Trinity - to indwell in us as saved Christians! It is am amazing thought to realize that the Holy Spirit lives inside us - and all that He is capable of, in helping us to live a life pleasing to the Father.

WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?
