Our Sunday School class is embarking on looking at what happened right after Jesus' death and resurrection. The title of the 10-week series is "The Church Begins".
Yesterday's class was "The Holy Spirit Comes".
I will have to admit I don't think a lot about the Holy Spirit. We tend not to talk about the his Spirit a lot. But we should. We enjoyed our discussion.
From some of our materials:
"The Bible teaches that everyone who trusts in Jesus Christ will be sealed with the same Holy Spirt Jesus promised to his apostles. The Holy Spirit is a guarantee to believers of the promised inheritance---that is, the glory of eternity with God in heaven. Every believer in Jesus Christ has the Holy Spirit living in him (her). (John 14:17)"
"We need to be mindful that the Holy Spirit IS the third person (God, Jesus, Holy Spirit) and that He IS indwelling each one of us who has turned from sin and trusted in Christ."

Thank You, Holy Spirit, for Your promises
to each one of us as believers.
Not because of anything we have done!
You are a Caregiver, Love-provider,
and All-in-All.
Amen.
