GUIDE TO THE SCRIPTURES
Comforter
The scriptures speak of two Comforters. The first is the Holy Ghost (John 14: 26-27; Moro. 8: 26; D&C 21: 9; 42: 17; 90: 11). The Second Comforter is the Lord Jesus Christ (John 14: 18, 21, 23). When someone obtains the Second Comforter, Jesus Christ will appear to him from time to time, will reveal the Father, and will teach him face to face (D&C 130: 3).
