FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
CHRIST’S CROWNING AND GREATEST GIFT TO MANKIND
“And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He May abide with you for ever.”
John 14:16, A.V.
“Christ declared that, after His ascension, that He would send to His church, as His crowning gift, the Comforter, who was to take His place. This Comforter is the HOLY SPIRIT—THE SOUL OF HIS LIFE, the efficacy of His church, THE LIGHT AND THE LIFE of the world. With His Spirit, Christ sends a reconciling influence and a power to take away sins.”
“God has instructed me to tell you and all His people to be VERY CAREFUL not to resist the working of the Holy Spirit—the Comforter that Christ sends. FEAR TO TAKE THE FIRST PRESUMPTUOUS STEP OF RESISTANCE.”
