Pastor’s Pen

Beloved, has the Holy Spirit caught you by surprise lately? Has He unveiled to you a deeper understanding of the person of Jesus Christ? We need to remember that the Holy Spirit is always at work trying to drive us into a more intimate relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

He always speaks through His inspired Word, the Scriptures. Speaking of the Holy Spirit, Jesus said in John 16:13-15, “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.”

Beloved, Jesus Christ is the one great glorious theme of the Holy Spirit. He never speaks of Himself because the role of the Spirit of God is to bear witness to Jesus Christ alone. The Holy Spirit is silent concerning Himself so that men may see the glory of the Father revealed in the Son. Beloved, should we be surprised that God can surprise us and amaze us??  No, because He is God!
