Grace for your spirit September 24, 2008

But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; John 16:7-8

Churches and church leaders are trained to discuss, counsel, and lead the worship. Books on psychology, philosophy, marketing, and church growth fill the libraries. If we were asked what was the most important issues facing the church, what would our answer be? Jesus said He was going back to heaven to send the Holy Spirit, and He would remind us and teach us what was really important. These are the three things He mentioned: Sin, Righteousness, and Judgment. These are the real issues of mankind, the real issues they don’t understand, and the solutions to eternal problems. Let’s start with those. That’s where the Holy Spirit started.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
