PASTORAL WORD - JESUS is with US in the PERSON of the HOLY SPIRIT (John, 14:14 -18)







My brothers and my sisters today I would like to reflect with you on the subject Jesus are present here in this world with us. On Sunday I preached in worship PP of the night about the "God with Us" according to the account of Matthew in chapter first. Said on the occasion that this "God with Us" is much more than a God among us or new host. among us. But it is a God that really took our full humanity in Christ Jesus his only son. It's very deep and makes a big difference to our Christian walk of faith. Today we're thinking pretty much the same thing from a different angle. The Lord Jesus was being crucified and raised to the heavens. So his words at that time were of comfort to the disciples. It is important to note that he makes a point of saying that the disciples would have been orphans. Jesus said: I will pray the father, and he will give you another comforter so that is always with you. This one was because he, Jesus was leaving this world physically speaking. But the other would not be good the other and Yes Jesus himself in the person of the Holy Spirit. And that really happened. In acts Chapter two we find the story of the descent of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost the Holy Cenacle falling on the one hundred and twenty people gathered in prayer that morning. But pastor because we still have to ask the Holy Spirit if hi come yet? Yes. He's here to stay and is in the world and will leave only when the Church is raptured. (taken) When we pray asking for the presence of the Holy Spirit we are asking for the special visit of the spirit. The spirit can be felt in us more or less intensely. The Bible speaks of people full of the Holy Spirit. Now, who is full may be in half, a third, two-thirds, etc. Is the spirit by visiting people in a special way in also special occasions.
But Jesus is with us in the Holy Spirit at all times. He said his father would give his request, another comforter to be forever with us. Hallelujah! The same Jesus who walked with the disciples, who still with them, which they heard his voice, it's here and now to our side through the Holy Spirit. So the expression, behold, I go and come for you. Review the biblical text in the text quoted above. This is not the second or the third coming of Christ at the end of time but his presence here in the world of men of spiritual way.
My dear brothers and sisters Jesus the son of God most high is a real presence with us and in us. And I would say that this presence is no less do not less important than and physical presence. It is the same Jesus. Glory to God! Feel it, live it and be happy and successful people in this world and in the world.
