The Holy Spirit
[John the baptist said] "I baptize you with water. But that
person who is coming will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
-- Mark 1:8 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Jesus has the power and authority to send the Spirit and make us new.
John could talk about the Holy Spirit and operate by the power and
inspiration of the Holy Spirit, as well as promise the coming of the
Holy Spirit. However, he could not baptize in the Holy Spirit. It
wasn't part of his baptism. Only Jesus can make us new by the power of
the Holy Spirit. We each one need to seriously consider whether we have
let him make us truly new.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father in heaven, thank you for the gift and power of the Holy Spirit
that is at work in your children. Thank you for sending this Spirit
into our lives, Lord Jesus. Holy Spirit, I pray that you will mold me
and make me into the person I need to be to properly share the grace of
God with others. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
