Luke 1:4 “And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me;”
Who is this Promise? As we see it is the Holy Spirit. Though having Jesus right there with them was a great privilege, we must not miss the wonderful blessing of having the Holy Spirit. He is in complete agreement and Union with Christ. The power, wisdom, and grace of the Lord Jesus are all accessible to us through Him.
We dare not miss the significance of the fact that Jesus told them to wait. The Spirit is vital to our mission to spread the gospel, and He is the main component of the church. It was not until after the sacrifice of Christ that God the Father made the Spirit available in this way.
Heavenly Father, it is just amazing to me to think of how you have worked in our lives. Your Spirit gives us the tools we need. He is our infinite supply. That’s really what it is all about, being hooked up to the Power Source. You have all that we need, may we serve You with all our hearts! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
