The Work Of The Holy Spirit
It would be so nice if Jesus was here with us on earth. His phyysical presence would be a blessing. I am sure many would flock to be anywhere near him, just like the days of his ministry. However, Jesus had to die on the cross so to fulfill the prophecy as written in the Scriptures. He was doing the will of His Father. His crucifiction and resurrection is testament to the principles of Christianity. Without his death, we would still be living in sin, and unable to reach God. He sends his Holy Spirit to comfort and guide us in our daily lives.

In what ways is it better to have the Holy Spirit with us, than to have Jesus` physical presence on earth?
I don`t see the difference between the Spirit and Jesus because Jesus is saying the Spirit takes all from him to tell the world.

This is a very tough question for me. I don`t know that it is BETTER to have the Holy Spirit with us than to have Jesus` physical presence on earth. I know the Holy Spirit is the One who guides a person to correctly interpret the Word of God and the Holy Spirit helps each person reach new levels of understanding. But I believe the Holy Spirit, Jesus and God are ONE and the same. Help me out here if you can with this question!

The Work of the Holy Spirit

But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?' But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart. Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I don't go away, the Counselor won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment; about sin, because they don't believe in me; about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you won't see me any more; about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
"I have yet many things to tell you, but you can't bear them now. However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming. He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine, and will declare it to you. All things whatever the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes of mine, and will declare it to you. A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me."

John 16:5-16
