_If we were asked whose Comforter the Holy Spirit was, the answer would be-Ours. The answer is not so ready when we are asked whose Advocate He is. The Spirit is Christ's Advocate, not ours. It is Christ's place He takes, Christ's cause He pleads, Christ's name He vindicates, Christ's Kingdom He administers._-SAMUEL CHADWICK.
The fact that man has two Divine Comforters, Advocates, Helpers, is declarative of the affluence of God's provisions in the gospel, and also declarative of the settled purpose of God to execute His work of salvation with efficacy and final success. Many-sided are the infirmities and needs of man in his pilgrimage and warfare for Heaven. These two Christs can meet with manifold wisdom.
