I mean those people who seem to be naturally fluent in the language of generosity and can easily disperse their expertise, their hospitality, their laughter, their time And not to and so on. This week’s edition of Salvationist might well have been produced under the working title of Giving. We can read about officers who have given count the their all, about Army people who are giving, and have given, their lives to Christ. We can even read about what Reliance Bank has to give its customers! Not forgetting that this cost edition coincides with General Linda Bond’s first day in office. She, we know, will give everything she has as our new leader. Someone once said that while it is possible to give without loving, it is impossible to love without giving. We need only read John 3:16 and the pages of this week’s paper for evidence of that. Speaking of John 3:16, I have been listening to We Preach Christ, the latest CD by Govan Songsters. I love it, especially ‘Divine Right’ with its beautiful words: ‘Christ has the right, the right of love; love which NSTINCT already tells me that demands the whole. Dear Lord, I give Colonel David Jeffrey, USA National without reserve, my heart, my life, my I Chief Secretary, is someone soul.’ I would refer to as a giving person.

BIBLE STUDY

to stay in Jerusalem (24:49), where the actual giving of the Spirit comes on the Feast of Pentecost (Acts 2:1–13). Here, the Spirit is about continuing the ministry A power of Jesus. The disciples speak in many different languages; the word of God can now be heard everywhere. The Bishop of Chelmsford, the Right Rev THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT Stephen Cottrell, continues his York Course There is an unpredictability to the Spirit. Like the risen Christ himself, God’s Spirit series for Lent entitled Rich Inheritance… cannot be pinned down. That’s why the Jesus’ Legacy Of Love Spirit is depicted in different images – a dove, water, wind and ﬁre. The New Testament’s consistent teaching is that the Spirit will be known by the fruit produced in human lives, listed by Paul in Galatians 5:22 and 23. But I don’t believe this list is intended to be exhaustive. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus – manifesting himself in different ways, in different people, at different times, into new truths and towards new challenges. And in every situation, the Spirit will be fruitful in our lives in new ways.

THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT A good tree bears good fruit. Over time, N the night before he died Jesus should not be seen in terms of the fruit of the Spirit grows from the Jesus said something rather absence, but of presence; not departure, ceaseless activity of the Holy Spirit in our O strange to his friends: ‘It is to but arrival; the completion of God’s lives.

Through his Spirit, Jesus Corinthians 13:13). Jesus is speaking about the Holy Spirit can give himself both equally and (also see John 14:26 and 16:13). immediately to all believers – including us. THE SPIRIT IN THE CHURCH TODAY ‘Advocate’ is one of several words It is through the power of this outpouring Jesus bequeaths his Spirit to his Church; used to translate the Greek word that the mission of God’s Church really the gift that unlocks and animates all paraclete. This legal term refers to begins. other gifts. Without it, there could be no someone who speaks on behalf of Church and no mission. But it is vitally another, also sometimes translated as THE GIFT OF THE SPIRIT important to realise that the same Holy ‘comforter’ – suggesting one who cares In John’s Gospel, this happens on Easter Spirit is just as available to us today. It’s for and supports another. Day. After hearing Jesus’ words of not as if Jesus gave such a huge dose of Jesus is making two crucial points: the commission (20:21) the disciples must the Spirit to his ﬁrst disciples that there’s Holy Spirit cannot come until he ascends have wondered how they could possibly not much left for us now! into Heaven, and will be an active power do this. The answer is by the power of the We may not be very ready to receive in the disciples’ lives.

This gift is closely in our lives, but the Spirit still wants to given until Jesus has departed. And bound up with the giving of authority to make Jesus known and grow beautiful Jesus cannot depart until his mission is continue the ministry of Jesus (20:23). fruit in our lives; and God the Father still complete. Therefore, the ascension of In Luke’s Gospel, the disciples are told wants to pour his Spirit onto his Church, and pour a Spirit-ﬁlled Church into the Jesus bequeaths his Spirit to his world. The New Testament makes a distinction between the fruit of the Spirit Church; the gift that unlocks and and the gifts of the Spirit. God wants to grow every single one of the fruits of the animates all other gifts Spirit in every life.

In every situation we are able to turn to you and know that you understand far better than anyone else possibly can. Give us the courage to deal with the changes and challenges we may be facing in our lives. If we are worried or fearful, help us to focus on you for strength and guidance. We PICTURE OF pray for all the officers mentioned in Salvationist, whether they are moving or staying in their appointments. Be to them all they THE WEEK need in their service for you. Amen.
