The Spirit of God is first seen in the biblical narrative as one who hovers over the waters – the chaos. It is this spirit of God that gives life through the breath of God to all living creatures. He is the wind, the life, the breath, the Spirit of God. So how do we understand the Holy Spirit? Who is he and why is he important? If he is so important then why have we heard so little about him.
As an introduction to spending some time learning about the Spirit of God we will begin at the beginning. We will contemplate the Spirit’s presence from chaos into creation – the one who gives life and how that same Spirit is here today.
