We as Christians tend to look to Jesus when we need an immediate source of comfort, and it's no surprise - He did die for us, after all. Not only that, but His death brought about life for us, and life to His words - like the ones above.
In the verses surrounding this one, Jesus is comforting His disciples after telling them He would die. He promises them the Holy Spirit (who IS our current comforter, and an ever present help in trouble) and peace.
Note the verbs are in present tense, so He gave it then and gives it now, as you need it. Perfect!
