Holy Spirit : Week 2 (Southaven)

Jesus told His disciples that it was better for Him to return to heaven so that they would receive the Holy Spirit. This is HARD to believe and even harder to accept. How could a spirit that you cannot see be any better than looking at, listening to, and living with God in the flesh!?! As hard as it is to believe, we indeed are in a better position to live faithfully with Jesus on the throne and the Holy Spirit living within us. With His presence and power, the Holy Spirit invites us, teaches us, corrects us, empowers us, and intercedes for us. Just like the first disciples, we are given understanding and ability to follow Jesus in ways that we could never accomplish in our human effort.
