Jesus as Counselor
Several hundred years before the birth of Christ, the prophet Isaiah foretold his coming. In the list of names he applied to the messiah we see, among others, Wonderful and Counselor. (Isa 9:6) Later, in the New Testament, Jesus told his disciples that He would leave them, but He would send a Comforter from the Father, who would abide with them forever. (Joh 14:16)
The Holy Spirit would continue this ministry of Counselor and Comforter to Christians world wide and would not be limited by time and space. The Greek word used in the scripture is parakletos and means counselor, helper or intercessor. Jesus saw to it that we would never be without counsel in His absence.
