Tomorrow is Pentecost Sunday, so we're learning about the Holy Spirit. What is the Holy Spirit? Why did Jesus have to leave so "the Comforter" could come. I have to share this amazing analogy about Peter.
How many times did Peter deny Christ? Three times. After the resurrection, how many times did Jesus ask Peter if he loved him? Three times. Why do you think Jesus did that? To sort of cross out the denials. Do you think Peter was a bit of a coward? Yes, But I think I would be, too. On the day of Pentecost, how many people became followers of Christ because of Peter's preaching? 3,000! 1,000 for every time Peter denied Christ.
When we are filled with the Spirit, we have 1000 times the power compared to when we don't! Jesus said we'd be filled with power when the Holy Spirit comes on us in tomorrow's memory verse. See ya then!
