26 "When the Friend I plan to send you from the Father comes - the Spirit of Truth issuing from the Father - he will confirm everything about me. 27 You, too, from your side must give your confirming evidence, since you are in this with me from the start.”
The Holy Spirit is about power. Power to believe; power to show mercy and kindness; power to live in hope. Power to change and be changed. It is an energizing power.
God gives us his Spirit to be creatively alive, creatively different (sometimes disturbingly so) and creatively compassionate.
This is what is needed in our world today - revolutionary and redemptive activity!
Forging a new humanity in Jesus name.
A humanity which erases distinctions between people. which regards none from the human point of view, but Jesus’ point of view where forgiveness is paramount.
“To think of changing the world
by changing the people in it
may be an act of great faith;
to talk of changing the world
without changing the people
in it is an act of lunacy.”
Lord Eustace Percy
Prayer thought for the week: “Lord, empower me with your Spirit that I might be creatively compassionate in all…yes all…that I do. And forgive me when I am not, so I can try again.”
