Advocate

Question: "What does it mean that Jesus is our Advocate?"

Answer: An advocate is a person who comes to our aid or pleads our case to a judge. Advocates offer support, strength, and counsel and intercede for us when necessary.

The Bible says that Jesus is an Advocate for those who’ve put their trust in Him:

(1 John 2:1). 
 “My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous”

In other verses, Jesus calls the Holy Spirit our Advocate.


I Love these verse it mentions  (John 14:16, 26; 15:26; 16:7).

John 14:16 NIV
"And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever"

John 14:26 NIV
"But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you."


John 15:26 NIV
“When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me.

John 16:7 NIV

"But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you."

The English word advocate has been translated from the Greek word parakleton, which means “helper, adviser, or counselor.”
