Reading: Romans, Chapter 8: 8-17
Our Lord Jesus Christ replaced
our sin-to-death condition with His life-giving Holy Spirit. Through this act,
we are privileged to live righteously and gain his glorious kingdom as our
inheritance.

20: 19-23.
John’s account of the
Pentecost is based on Jesus’ appearance in the midst of his disciples, soon
after the resurrection. He breathed the Holy Spirit into them and empowered
them to continue his work. Christ invites us this day to receive his
life-transforming Holy Spirit.

promises his followers his Holy Spirit, who will teach us everything, as well
as the indwelling of Christ and God our Creator in us. These words of hope tell
us the lengths Christ would go to keep us in his fold.
