John 14:26

“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.”

“Jesus said to him, ‘Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.’”

Matthew 3:11

“I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” (spoken by John the Baptist).

Mark 3:29

“but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation”

Mark 13:11

“But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.”

Luke 12:12

“For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.”

We will be reading from a book by Erwin Lutzer, President of Moody Bible Institute.  It’s a short book about Christ’s sacrifice for us.  It’s called simply, “For Us.”

John 14:16-17

“And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—  the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.”

“Mary,” He said, and she knew from the tender sound of her name that it was Jesus speaking to her.  Of course, Mary Magdalene was not married to Jesus, but she had traveled with Him and joined with other women who had a close relationship with Him.  When she called Him “Lord” or “Master,” she knew who she was talking to.

You and I don’t have Jesus here on Earth to walk and talk with.  But through the gift of the Holy Spirit and God’s Word the Bible, we can still have a relationship with Christ as close and personal as Mary did ~ in fact, if we don’t, we will not be saved.

You’re not saved because your family is, because you’re baptized, or even because you acknowledge Jesus as the Savior.

Salvation comes when you accept Him as YOUR Savior, knowing who He is and what He has done FOR YOU.

You may never hear Him speak your name in this life, but I assure you, if you accept Him as your Savior, you will hear your name in heaven in a voice so tender.
