God’s Pswsr Lesson for October 11, 1959 i IS GOD only an "oblong blur"? Somebody is said to have reported that every time he tried to think of God, all he could get before his mind’s eye was a kind of oblong blur. If God is as dim and shadowy as that, then the Holy Spirit must be even more so —a

Dr. Foreman

blur so dim that one cannot tell whether is is oblong or not. The story of the earliest Christians, in the book of Acts, does not tell us all about the Holy Spirit that there is for us to know;

it does not by any means clear up all the mysteries. But it does help us to understand a few important truths about the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of 804 It makes no real difference whether we speak of the Holy Spirit or the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit is God’s Spirit, and only the Spirit of God is the completely Holy Spirit. A simple definition of the'Holy Spirit is this: God at work in the life of man. The Spirit is not a messenger from God, and not an “influence” —as when we say that a young man has the "spirit” of his father, or that the “spirit” of a school is to be seen in all the students. The . Spirit of God is God, God here-and-now, God-in-us. The first Christians did not understand this till after the Spirit came on the day of Pentecost (one of the great .Jewish festivals).‘They had been brought‘Sp as Jews, and Jews of that time never supposed that God’s Spirit was for every one, but only for a very few exceptional persons. It was at Pentecost that they learned that the Spirit is to be "poured out on ALL flesh,” that is to say all sorts and conditions of men. They recognised the coming of the Spirit as the coming of God in a new and mighty way. No one is ever nearer to God than he la to the Holy Spirit. What the H*ly Spirit la Net When an African chief is converted, it takes some persuading to induce him to give up all his magic gadgets. Even the humblest and poorest African savage has a few such gadgets, but a big chief will have them all. He has a variety of charms—it may be a thing to hang around his neck, or in his belt, or on his wrist, or otherwise—one to ward off lightning, and another to protect him from his enemies, and another to make him live a long time, and one to bring him many boy children. Now the Holy Spirit is not that kind of thing at all. The Holy Spirit (as the New Testament shows) does not guarantee freedom from suffering. We know Christ had the Holy Spirit always in him, but yet hs suffered terribly. All the Apostles felt the presence of the Spirit, yet all of them, tradition tells us, died martyrs’ deaths. The Holy Spirit does not guarantee that the spiritual person will never make mistakes. There are many mistakes recorded in the New Testament committed by persons who had surely received the Spirit. More than this, the Holy Spirit is not a kind of magic charm to keep the wearer from sin. We know that Simon Peter received the Holy Spirit. But we also know that he was not always free from sin after that. (Seo Galatians 2:11-14.) Rawer—For WbaH The Holy Spirit, in the Bible, is always associated with power. Jesus himself had said to his disciples, “you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come, upon you.” Now the Christians in Jerusalem had some kinds of power at Pentecost which most of them never seem to have had again; it came like a biasing wind and did not come again. Speaking with "tongues," for instance. But there was another and more lasting power, the power to "witness” to Christ. This always includes three things: the power to grow more like Christ; the power to go on his business, in his name; and the power to show by testimony and by living, what it means to be a ■ people called by Christ’s name. If . a "Christian” is not growing nor ■ going nor showing, one wonders if he has ever known the Spirit’s power.
