Last time we went through chapter 5 where Paul spells out the works of the flesh and contrasts it with the fruit of the Spirit. He then admonishes the Galatians to walk in the Spirit or they will fulfill the lusts of the flesh. The way of law works won’t produce the fruit of the Spirit but will cause divisions and strife. Walking with Christ is the only way that the Spirit produces His fruit through us.
Last week I preached a message about the person of the Holy Spirit, today I want to preach about the purpose of the Holy Spirit. In these verses Jesus is explaining what the Holy Spirit is sent to do. Again I say to you today that this is His time. He is the presence of God in the world today since Jesus Christ ascended back to the Father. His work is to make Jesus Christ known in the world and carry on His ministry. When Jesus was on earth, He glorified the Father…now the Holy Spirit glorifies Him. He is essential in God’s work of redemption in mankind. Let me highlight a few of His works:
Last Sunday evening we were watching the movie The Greatest Story Ever Told since it was Easter and we had never seen the movie before. As a person who has taught Sunday school for years and been a preacher for over 20 years, I can’t help but notice the things that don’t line up with the scriptures. I’m not trying to be critical, I enjoyed the movie but there was something that got my attention. It was the relationship between Herod and John the Baptist.
