    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Oct 31, 2023
     | 870 views

    Jesus prepared his disciples to receive the Holy Spirit. We also need a preparation period to understand the gift of the Holy Spirit which we receive through baptism.

Dr. Michael H Koplitz 21 Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus was also baptized, and while He was praying, heaven was opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came out of ...read more
