1:8 I baptized you in water; But he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit.
Mark 1:8 ASV
Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.
Martin Luther King Jr. (1929 - 1968), Strength to Love,1963.
LAB comments: John said Jesus would baptize them with the Holy Spirit, sending the Holy Spirit to live within each believer. John's baptism with water prepared a person to receive Christ's message. This baptism demonstrated repentance, humility, and willingness to turn from sin. This was the beginning of the spiritual process.When Jesus baptizes with the Holy Spirit, however, the entire person is transformed by the Spirit's power. Jesus offers to us both forgiveness of sin and the POWER to LIVE for him.
My comments: We receive this power by asking Jesus, "Lord Jesus, please baptize me with the Holy Spirit, thank you!"
