I actually have really good memories of Halloween, from the stash of candy, to the “perfect weather” for trick-or-treating, to the haunted houses we used to have in our basement for the whole neighborhood. My memories are more warm and innocent than they are dark and sinister. But obviously, I am very aware of the Halloween debate that is argued among Christians, and I have my own history with Halloween since I’ve been a born-again believer. One thing I do know for certain is that Jesus wouldn’t be scared of Halloween. So whether we participate in the holiday or not, we can be sure that not even the “gates of hell” shall prevail against the Kingdom of God!

Right before His arrest and subsequent death on the cross, Jesus spent much of His last night with His disciples teaching on the Holy Spirit. One of the most powerful, and perhaps most under-appreciated, names for the Holy Spirit is “Advocate.” All too often, we have turned the Spirit into a “comforter,” like a warm blanket on a cold day. That image falls SO short of who He really is in the life of a believer. Let’s embrace the full majesty and weight of the Advocate!
