About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"WE CAN RELY ON HOLY SPIRIT" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
WE CAN RELY ON HOLY SPIRIT
IN STUDYING THE NEW TESTAMENT, HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED WHAT THE DISCIPLES REALLY KNEW ABOUT JESUS? LET'S THINK ABOUT IT FOR A MINUTE.
WE KNOW THEY KNEW HE WAS THE MESSIAH BECAUSE OF WHAT PETER TOLD JESUS. PETER WAS SORT OF THE SPOKESMAN FOR THE TWELVE AND WHEN JESUS ASK THEM WHO DID MEN SAY THAT HE WAS, THE TWELVE STARTED TELLING JESUS WHAT PEOPLE THOUGHT HE WAS LIKE, SOME SAY JOHN THE BAPTIST, SOME ELIAS, AND OTHERS, ONE OF THE PROPHETS. WHEN JESUS ASKS, WHOM DO YOU SAY THAT I AM? PETER SPOKE UP AND SAID IN MATTHEW 16:16 "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."
DO YOU THINK THEY KNEW ABOUT HIM GOING TO BE CRUCIFIED? THEY DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE. DON'T YOU THINK THAT IF THEY HAD KNOWN, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN WAITING AT THE TOMB FOR HIM TO COME OUT ON THAT THIRD DAY? LOOK WHAT IT SAYS IN LUKE 18:31-34
"Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again. And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken."
AFTER JESUS TELLING THEM ALL THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, THEY STILL DIDN'T UNDERSTAND BECAUSE GOD WAS KEEPING IT HID FROM THEM.
HERE IS THE POINT I AM TRYING TO MAKE IN ALL THIS. ALTHOUGH IT SAYS THIS SAYING WAS HID FROM THEM, IT IS NOT HID FROM US CHRISTIANS. WE HAVE HOLY SPIRIT WHICH THEY DIDN'T HAVE BECAUSE, AT THAT TIME, HE HAD NOT BEEN SENT TO THEM. LOOK WHAT IT SAYS IN JOHN 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance , whatsoever I have said unto you. IF WE COULD JUST FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT WE HAVE IN HOLY SPIRIT, OUR LIVES WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER. RELY ON HIM. PAUL SAID "for it is the power of God unto salvation" FOR ALL OF US WHO BELIEVE. BELIEVE AND RECEIVE.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
