Today we will wrap up our series for November entitled “Knowing God”
In our quest to know more about God we looked into the life of Moses
Moses sought the glory of God
But, there are limits regarding how much humans can withstand the Lord’s earthly visible presence
For He is holy and we are not holy enough
BREATHE!
Do you remember Uzzah?
The guy who who reached to hold the ark when the oxen stumbled, he died instantly ()
Show the illustration of the temple of Solomon and Herod and the Holy of Holies
No one can come to the Holy of Holies, even the high priest may only come once a year on the day of atonement after offering the blood of sacrifice and incense before the mercy seat
Until Jesus came, and when He died on the cross as our ultimate and eternal sacrifice, the veil was thorn apart
Through Jesus we were given access to God
BREATHE!
John said, no one has ever seen God other than Jesus, who Himself is God, and made God known to us
On the conclusion of that first part of this series, we learned that...
For us to truly know God, we must be REBORN
Receive Jesus
Edify the Lord
Believe in Him
Obey His commands
Reconcile with God
Nurture His Love
BREATHE!
And then we fast forward in history in the Bible
We investigated the encounter of Nicodemus when He came to Jesus in the middle of the night
Nicodemus, is a very prominent, powerful, popular, prosperous and highly educated member of the ruling Jewish council (called the Sanhedrin)
BREATHE!
From this second part of this series, we learned that, no amount of human intelligence will suffice to give us complete, or better knowing of God
Because matters about God may only be understood through the help of the Holy Spirit says in ()
We concluded that to know God, we must be in the realm of the Spirit
BREATHE!
And again, to be in the realm of the Spirit, we must be REBORN
Receive the Holy Spirit
Body shall be used to honor God
Renewal our thoughts and attitude
BREATHE!
In the middle of this series, we got caught up with the celebration of Thanksgiving
And the conversation brought us to essential questions leading to giving thanks to God
Questions like:
How can we thank someone we do not know?
How can we thank God in the midst of negative things happening around us?
How can we thank someone we do not know?
And so our discussion brought us back to the need to “Know God” the Holy One
BREATHE!
Apparently, God reveals His glory “progressively”
Essentially on Part of 1 of this Series, we talked about God the Father
And on Part 2, we talked about the divinity of Jesus the Son
And on the last part today, let’s talk about the Holy Spirit
Go ahead and turn to your neighbor and ask...
Who is the Holy Spirit?
BREATHE!
To a lot of christians, the Holy Spirit is commonly neglected (most likely, it is unintentional)
We talk a lot about God and focus more on Jesus and it seems that the Holy Spirit is ignored by many
It make sense, because the Holy Spirit is imagined like an abstract, a wind (pneuma), and His perceived characteristics made it difficult for believers to visualize Him
Specially to those who grew in a religion surrounded with handcrafted idols to help their parishioners visualize the image of God
If you’ve been there, you’ll notice that they have no statue that represents the Holy Spirit
BREATHE!
In some, they use the image of a dove as an icon of the Holy Spirit, taking it from that instance recorded in the Bible when the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus after John baptized Him in the River Jordan
So with all these visuals, it kinda put the Holy Spirit behind the scene with respect to the Trinity
Despite of the fact that the Holy Spirit is Himself God, and co-equal with the other two Entities which is the Father and the Son
BREATHE!
Studies during this modern day shows that people, rely more on visuals
As a matter of fact, one study shows that, people remembers what they saw, 3 times of what they read and almost twice of what they heard
So let me try to help you visualize who the Holy Spirit is, and what is His role in the Trinity
Illustration using Battery - Conduit - Electricity: The Battery represents the Father, the Conduit (receptacles) represents the Son, the Electricity represents the Holy Spirit, and the Bulb represents us.
The bulb doesn’t have life, doesn’t have light, unless it is connected to the conduit that connects it to the battery.
But, without the electricity running from the battery through the conduits, still there will be no light, no life.
That’s why to produce light, we need the battery, the conduits and the electricity.
But faith doesn’t work like that
You may say, “I believe God can do it!”
But that’s not faith; that’s just a fact.
God can do it whether you believe it or not.
Or maybe you go.. “I believe God might do it”, is not faith either.
That’s hope!
But when you say… “I believe God will do it” — that’s faith
BREATHE!
Let’s go back to our question for the day
Who is the Holy Spirit?
Paracletos

Like a 3-legged stool, it won’t hold without one of the legs

It won’t work without the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete (Greek - Parakletos)
Transliteration of a Greek word meaning “one who is called to someone’s aid” or “one who advocates another.”
Thus the term may be used technically for a lawyer.
More generally the word denotes one who acts in another’s behalf as a mediator, an intercessor, or a comforter
