Power from on High

Jesus promised His followers that He would not abandon them, but that they would be emboldened by the presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives. The Bible repeatedly uses “wind” as a metaphor to explain how God’s Spirit operates in the world. Wind is one of the only things we understand as both non-physical and tangible at the same time. We can’t hold the wind, but we don’t doubt its existence. We can see the wind’s influence and power all around us. On the day the church began, God’s Spirit descended on His people in a powerful way and has been working in His church ever since. As we keep in step with what the Spirit wants us to do (Galatians 5:25), He’ll empower us to change the world.
