And I [John] heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them" - Revelation 14:13 (ASV). To the disciples, Jesus described the Holy Spirit as the Comforter and promised the Spirit's abiding and comforting presence within those who accept His Sacrifice - John 14-16. Jesus' word for the Holy Spirit also could be understood as Advocate, Helper, and Counselor. The abundance of the Spirit's presence fills up the goodness of each of these terms. Those who have lived for Jesus are given two promises by the Spirit: Not only will they enjoy the rest of God, but also what they have done for the Lord will be remembered by the one who matters most. What we do for Jesus matters eternally, and it will not be forgotten! (Hebrews 6:10)
