I really should have known about the Holy Spirit's formal job description as found in John 16:7-13. This is the type of passage that I probably have glossed over in the past but today as I read the Jesus' words about the Holy Spirit I was shocked. The Holy Spirit's whole job is to basically breath life into the Gospel, the Good News we are called to share!
How did I not understand this? Well, I'm sharing what the Lord revealed to me today.
7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
8 When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment:
9 about sin, because people do not believe in me;
10 about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer;
11 and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.
13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
