Acts 1:4-5 (NLT) Once when he was eating with them, he commanded
them, “Do not leave Jerusalem until the Father sends you the gift he promised,
as I told you before. John baptized with water, but in just a
few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
Jesus and his disciples shared a lot of meals together, in an everyday, relaxed
environment Jesus shared what was to be very important instructions and gave
space for His disciples to ask what was on their hearts (v6). John the Baptist promised
the Holy Spirit and Jesus confirmed that promise. Without the Spirit the
disciples lacked the power, authority and boldness to change the world. Perhaps
we too lack power and boldness?
Come Holy Spirit and fill our hearts afresh that
we might be fully used in your service.
