Weekday Devotional with William Barclay - The Coming of the Spirit

Daily Devotions with William Barclay
365 Meditations on the Heart of the New Testament

The Coming of the Spirit

Scripture:  John 1:32-34

Reflection:
 
John and Jesus are cousins, why wasn't John able to recognize him?

What does it mean to be baptized by the Holy Spirit?

There's a difference between John's water baptism and Jesus Holy Spirit baptism.  John baptized to cleanse and dedicate, Jesus baptized to saturate our lives with knowing God's will, give us strength to handle life and purify us by making us holy.


Prayer:   God, we ask you to come descend on us like a dove daily.  Allow you spirit to enter into our lives like a flood.  Amen.
