Spiritual Things 15
“The Spirit gives life”
John 6:47-63
“Eating and drinking” is used figuratively of partaking of the benefits of the death of Christ by faith.
Finis Dake said “No figure of speech was more common to Jews at this time, so there was no excuse for them to misunderstand his words”
Something greater was happening here than just the teaching of disciples.
-
Jesus would ascend in their sight
-
Jesus body and blood would give them life
-
Within his words...was the Spirit and Life.
-
His physical body/blood nor just natural words alone can save. It takes the Spirit of God to give life.
-
It takes God's words filled with God's Spirit to save, salvage and change us!
2 Corinthians 3:1-6
Paul said here that changed lives...human lives changed by the Holy Spirit through his ministry are his letters of recommendation.
The Spirit gives life...not pastors, preachers, teachers.
