HIStory: A Six Week Study of the Gospel of Johnಮಾದರಿ

“The Holy Spirit”

Just before Jesus was arrested, He comforted His disciples by letting them know that His Father would send another “advocate” to help them. Jesus was referring to the Holy Spirit. So many people are confused about the Holy Spirit. Perhaps they have run into someone who made God’s Spirit seem weird. Jesus said that the “world cannot accept him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him.” To those who have never experienced the presence of God, the Holy Spirit might not make sense. But for those who have felt the very near presence of God, the Holy Spirit is desired.

Jesus said that when the Holy Spirit comes, He will “teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said.” One of the primary roles of the Holy Spirit is to make Jesus known and real to us.

Have you ever felt the presence of God in church or at some other time? Did you realize that it was the Holy Spirit making you feel that way?

Take a moment to invite the Holy Spirit of God to fill you today and make Jesus even more real than He has been.
