Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

Online Devotion from Pastor Greg

Acts 6:8-15
Continuing our devotions on the book of Acts we see another instance of the early church trying to figure out what it means to be the body of Christ.
An opportunity for us to reflect on our own efforts as a Lutheran church, trying to embody the living Christ in our world.
