Lesson 28 Walking by the Spirit Review
Question 3
The Holy Spirit does not draw attention to Himself; rather, He is very eager to guide us to and testify about Jesus. Throughout history, there have been many religious movements focused on the Holy Spirit; meanwhile, the Holy Spirit is consumed with Jesus and lives to point to Him, talk about Him, and testify of Him. We know we are becoming filled with the Spirit and keeping in step with Him when we start to become all about Jesus!
"But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.” John 16:13-15 (NIV)
Guides us into all truth, teaching us about the gospel.
Sent from the Father, He does not speak about Himself but glorifies the Son
He makes the Son known to us, telling us all about Jesus.
In other words, the Spirit, sent from the Father, comes to us with a message all about the Son; His point is to woo us away from our sinful flesh and this evil world and take us to Jesus.
Our role is to hear Him, listen to His teaching about the Son, respond to the message we hear, and leave and go with Him to the Son. We keep in step with Him all through this life, walking by the Spirit and being led by the Spirit, not the flesh, and He takes us all the way home to Jesus Christ, the Son! The Spirit’s role is to make Jesus Christ precious to us.
