    Jesus is going away, but they will not be left to their own resources. The Father will send the Spirit in Jesus’ place. The power of God is resident in Jesus & His disciples are invited to know Jesus & gain life from Him, & share His power.

    JOHN 14: 15– 20 THE COMING OF THE SPIRIT This is the first of several teachings on the Holy Spirit in the Upper Room Discourse.

    What did it mean for God to send down his Spirit on the day of Pentecost? When the Spirit of God fills you, how do you know it?

    Some kind of power came from outside; a transcendent energy. How are we filled with the Spirit? Reminder: Pentecost was 50 days after Easter, 10 days after the ascension. They had been told by Jesus to wait for it. In the forty days between Easter and the Ascension Jesus had instructed them on ...read more

    This promise of the Paraclete brings further clarity to the role of the Spirit, since now He is described specifically as the “Holy Spirit.” The Holy Spirit is the interpreter of God to us & the One who brings God’s peace to us.

    JOHN 14: 25-31 THE PROMISE OF THE SPIRIT [Philippians 4: 6-7] This section continues to prepare Jesus’ disciples for His departure and its consequences for them.
