The Holy Spirit

When we live our lives day to day we are unaware that we are joined at the hip with one of the divine members of the trinity – the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit was promised to us in John 16 by Jesus Christ.  The Holy Spirit is not an “it,” but a person that “embodies” the person and work of Christ.  Christ was with the disciples and He promises them that they will not be left alone – so the Holy Spirit represents a promise that Christ keeps for the disciples and the Kingdom of God.  While the Holy Spirit is ours, it’s not ours privately.  The Holy Spirit is a person that functions communally to build a people to/and advance the Kingdom of God.  The Holy Spirit is not just our personal conscience-checker (though He is that), He s also constantly pushing us to advance the Kingdom of God.  In fact, He is uncovering sin in our life really isn’t even about us, it’s about changing us day by day to be Kingdom leaders, Jesus follower,  and “pushers" of the Kingdom of God.
