00:00Hello, my name is Marjorie and I am a Baptist Minister at the Well Church in Sheffield.

00:13Shortly before Jesus Christ goes to the cross, he takes time to explain matters to his closest

00:19friends and he tells of his forthcoming trial and crucifixion and resurrection. He is foretelling

00:27what is about to happen to his followers and friends and these are the people who would

00:32go on to start the greatest movement the world has ever known. Recorded in John's Gospel

00:39in chapters 15, 16 and 17, he tells them that they are to love God. They are instructed to

00:45love each other and very importantly to receive a gift, the gift of the Holy Spirit. I will

00:53send you the advocate, the spirit of truth, he says.

00:58Many people today are not very sure who and what the Holy Spirit is, but the giving of

01:04the Holy Spirit that will soon be celebrated at Pentecost is the greatest gift possible

01:10to our world. Holy Spirit, one of the three persons of God, the Trinity, is very simply

01:17God's empowering presence on earth.

01:21One of the ancient Greek words used to describe the Holy Spirit in the Bible is parakletos, which

01:27means one who comes alongside. I find great comfort and encouragement in this description

01:34of God, who is willing to journey alongside us towards a better future.
