May the mumbling commence!
As I read from Ephesians this morning, I noticed a
couple more things that we can learn about the Holy Spirit. First, let’s review: The Holy Spirit is our signet ring, our personal
trainer, our gift distributor, our protector, and our revealer of
mysteries. That’s what we’ve learned so
far. Now, let’s look to chapter two of
Ephesians:
For
through [Jesus] we both have access
to the Father by one Spirit.
Consequently, you are
no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and
members of God’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and
prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole
building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built
together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
(Verses 18-22)
The Holy Spirit gives us direct access to God. And that access goes both ways. We have access to God, and God has access to
us through the working of the Holy Spirit.
God dwells in us – the church, not the brick and mortar church building
but the people of the church.
Through the Holy Spirit, we have direct access to
God. Let us allow God’s Spirit to
saturate our entire beings.
Enough mumbling for now…
Peace Out
