What’s in the Bible about the Holy Spirit?     What is the Bible is all about?  What's in it?  Why is it so important for Christians? Is it really relevant for people in the 21st century?  Should I care about what's in the Bible? Why?

Отрывок из книги

Alex Joyner is a United Methodist pastor serving on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, one of the last undeveloped coastal regions on the Eastern seaboard. Alex serves Franktown Church, a vibrant congregation representing the diversity of the region. In previous roles, he has worked in inner-city Dallas, Texas, as a youth director; as an associate pastor in a bilingual Latino congregation; as a pastor in England and Virginia; and as a campus minister at the University of Virginia. His experience with college students and young adults led him to write Restless Hearts: Where Do I Go Now, God? (Abingdon Press), a resource for discovering your vocation.

Alex has been a featured preacher on the former Protestant Hour radio broadcast (now Day One) and began his career as a radio news director. He is summer adjunct lecturer at Southern Methodist University, where he has taught Bible and theology courses since 1996. He has a great interest in missions and has led work teams domestically and in Mexico. He has also led a student group to two places of Christian pilgrimage—Taize, France, and Iona, Scotland.

One of the biblical phrases associated with the Holy Spirit, the third of the primary names by which Christians talk about God, is the Comforter. However, while Christians take comfort in knowing that the presence and power of Jesus are still with us through the Spirit, there is not much comforting about the way the Spirit works. The Spirit hovers, creates, blows, and explodes upon people throughout the Bible. Images associated with the Holy Spirit are not only the dove but also fire, cloud, and wind. A visit from the Holy Spirit in Scriptures usually means that a character's life is about to change dramatically.

Why is this good news? For people living in similarly tumultuous times, the idea that God is not going to leave us alone is encouraging. If the Bible is right about who God is and how God operates, then the world is infused with the power of transformation and we experience that power through the work of the Holy Spirit. God came into the world in Jesus in order to save it, and the witness to what God was doing then and what God wants to do now is the Holy Spirit.
