Why We Need The Holy Spirit Today By Pastor Robert Summers
No one chapter alone is a book when reading the Bible. You need to read the whole volume, especially the Gospels. When reading the Gospels of Mathew, Mark, Luke and John, remember that the Book of Acts is an essential continuum of the Jesus story. When Jesus went away to His Father, and our Father, He sent the Holy Spirit to work through His church. The Book of Acts thus would have no formal ending, for the Lord’s work through us today has not ended. The first mentioning of the Spirit of God is way back in the first couple of verses of Genesis. From that time to now, the Holy Spirit never left. Jesus breathed on His struggling disciples (John 20:22) and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”
