Pick Up The Two Advocates Engineered By Timothy J. Keller Issued As EPub

this seventh book in the essay series, Tim Keller takes on the message of the Last Supper, and discusses how Christians have two advocates: Christ and the Holy Spirit.
This means a level of security for the believer,

And yet, there is a lack of joy and of fear in many Christians, There is a fear of not measuring up, but with these advocates going before God on our behalf, there is nothing to worry about, We live lives of quiet desperation, when our focus should be on the eternal,

This is the second essay in the series I've read, Both are short and perhaps overpriced since over half the volume is a sample chapter from another book, but the quality of writing is good, and so very encouraging.
This is thend book that I have read by Tim Keller in "The Encounters with Jesus" series, and it was definitely well worth the time it took to read it.
Keller, just like in the previous books in this series, does such a great job making abundantly clear his main point in the book our first advocate is Jesus and the second advocate is the Holy Spirit who comes to testify about Jesus, and following his main point up with plenty of illustrations to help readers understand what he is trying to say.
I find it a humbling thing when I ponder on just how little the apostles understood about Christ and what He had come to accomplish on not only their behalf, but on behalf of the elect whom the Father had given him.
They had been in close, intimate fellowship with the creator of the world, and yet they showed by their speech and actions that they were in fact "clueless" as to much of what Jesus had been telling them was going to take place on the Cross and after His resurrection from the dead.
Pondering these thoughts thanks to this small book makes my appreciation for God sending the second advocate, the Holy Spirit, to enlighten me to the truth of who Christ was/is, and what had to be accomplished on my behalf so that I could

have a regenerated heart and a renewed relationship with the God who bought me with the precious blood of his Son.
