Jesus
told his disciples (in reference to the Spirit) he would send a comforter once
he departed Earth. We have two analogies here, both using the concept of a
blanket: 1) a blanket can be called a comforter, in this sense the Spirit
serves as comfort in times of trouble and affliction and 2) the Spirit is used
as a blanket statement, i.e, covering lot of ground without giving out too many
details. An example of this would be the Spirit interacting with the Virgin
Mary to impregnate her. No details, just a result.
