The Wind is Blowing, Pt 2

Series: Experience the Spirit 4/29/12 Jesus compares the Spirit to wind.  We cannot see it; we don’t know where it goes; we cannot even explain how it works; but we know it is there and we see, feel and experience its effects.  The wind is one of the most common symbols fo the Holy Spirit in the Bible. In both the Testaments, in the original languages, the word "spirit" is also translated as “wind” and “breath.”  The Kingdom of God is about the Spirit at work in us bringing new life, the life God intends for us which was lost through sin, and it is about the Spirit empowering us to live the life God intends for us and to do His work to advance His Kingdom in this world. As we look again at this prominent symbol of the Spirit, we learn three more important parallels between wind and the Holy Spirit that reveal to us the nature and work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
