Jesus Cares about Your Linen

Today's home decor question contains an inspirational passage suitable for cross-stitching onto your favorite pillow.
Q: "Why did Jesus says ANOTHER comforter? And not the same comforter? Notice the word: ANOTHER?
John 14:16
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter,
that he may abide with you for ever."
A: Jesus, being the son of god and all that, was clearly smart enough to realize that no comforter (or duvet, for that matter) would last for two thousand years. All those anticipating Christ's return would need to get another comforter at some point during their wait. Unless, of course, they want to miss the big event, being bedridden with acute pneumonia because they've been spending long cold Savior-less winters wrapped in a tattered two-thousand-year-old comforter.
Wait, now that I read the passage in question more closely... did he say "that he may abide with you for ever"? Personification of bedding aside, the Jesus-God Conglomerate appears to have been sitting on the breakthrough technology of everlasting comforters since the year 33 A.D.!
