Teaching About The Holy Spirit
Text: John 20: 22
TEACHING ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Lord Jesus taught His disciples many vital spiritual truths. One of them was the doctrine of the Holy Spirit.
1. He is to be understood as the Holy Spirit of God (John 14:26)
a. He would not possess a physical form.
b. He would always be “spirit-form”.
c. He would be characterized as “holy” as God is.
2. He would be their “Helper” (John 14:26a)
a. He would come alongside.
b. He would help the Disciples.
3. The Father would send Him in Christ’s name (John 14:26b)
a. He too would have a “mission” to accomplish.
b. He would stay committed to His being “sent” by God the Father.
4. The Spirit of God would bear witness of Christ (John 15:26-27)
5. He would convict the world of sin (John 16:8-11)
6. The Holy Spirit would also become their Teacher (John 14:26)
AN EXPERIENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
The teachings of Jesus were wonderful. However, they were at best “theoretical”. Jesus had to help them experience the reality of the Spirit of God in their life.
“And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.’”
John 20:22
1. “When He had said this”
a. A reference to the Disciples being “sent”.
b. They were to seek to fulfil their mission as Jesus did.
2. “He breathed on them”
a. This was a symbolic act.
b. It represented the giving of the Holy Spirit of God to the disciples.
3. “Receive the Holy Spirit”
a. The disciples would experience the empowering of the Holy Spirit.
b. This power would help them overcome their fears and more.

体验圣灵

“说了这话，就向他们吹一口气，说：‘你们受圣灵！’”
