Spirit-Filled LifeSample

Jesus was born by the Spirit, filled by the Spirit, led by the Spirit, empowered by the Spirit, and offered Himself as a sacrifice on the cross by the eternal Spirit. He breathed the Holy Spirit on His disciples and prayed for the Father to send the Spirit to His followers.

Christ modeled a life full of the Spirit, and He introduced us to the same life by giving us the Spirit of God. When we are baptized into the Holy Spirit, guess who is doing that baptism? It’s none other than Jesus, the Baptizer of the Holy Spirit. Many have met Jesus as a Lamb; however, now it’s time to meet the Baptizer. Some have come to the cross, but now it’s time to come to Pentecost.

Let Jesus’ life be an example for us to follow—we are called to pick up our cross and follow Him. We can’t do that unless we rely on the Holy Spirit the same way He did.

Let’s pray:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, help me be more like Jesus.
