Hey everyone I’m Gary Hoban and welcome to Refinery Life Australia.
“The Christ of John’s Gospel” has been our theme for the past couple of months teachings with a focus on John’s unique portrayal of the Christ.
Today we are talking about The Promise of The Holy Spirit.
Saying goodbye can be difficult.
People struggle with the words when a friend or family member will be going away for a long period of time.
Likewise, the disciples had a hard time saying farewell to the Master.
Jesus had prepared them for the fact of His death, but they were not willing to accept this reality.
The closer the time came for Jesus’ departure, the more they recognised the reality.
The Lord and His disciples had a difficult time leaving each other.
Jesus told the disciples that His departure would be only for a short time.
John 14:19, “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.
Jesus promised that He would be with His disciples in the power and presence of His Spirit.
In other words, Jesus Himself would be present with His disciples in another manner.
Maybe believers need to examine the promise Jesus gave to His disciples about the Holy Spirit.
We need not be discouraged because the physical presence of Jesus is not with us.
He is present in the Holy Spirit.
We need to understand this and celebrate His presence!
Until next time
Stay in the Blessings
I really want to encourage you to be diligent with your Bible study time, because God has so much more for us than we can get from just going to church once or twice a week and hearing someone else talk about the Word.
When you spend time with God, your life will change in amazing ways, because God is a Redeemer.
Theres nothing thats too hard for Him, and He can make you whole, spirit, soul and body!
You’re important to God, and you’re important to us at The Refinery.
When it comes to prayer, we believe that God wants to meet your needs and reveal His promises to you.
So whatever you’re concerned about and need prayer for we want to be here for you! Or even if you just want to say Hi, you can contact us at www.refinerylife.org
