He said, “Jesus cheers us.” Those three little words caught my eye. He cheers us not by His physical presence, but through the Holy Spirit. Yes, the Spirit’s role is to convict and convince us of sin, to illuminate and instruct our hearts. But His main work is to make glad our tired hearts, to uplift and confirm the weak, to encourage and raise up the downcast, and to comfort us. And He does this all through Christ.
