October 27, 2013: Where Have You Been All This Time? – Michael Hidalgo and Dave Terpstra
There is a group of people who are Jesus followers, dedicated to God and yet they do not even know the Holy Spirit exists. So much so when asked about the Spirit they say, “What? There’s a Holy Spirit?” How is it that people can follow Jesus, love God, love others and somehow not have the Holy Spirit?
A couple of things to remember. First, let’s not forget that Luke is telling a story of how God moved in the first century church. A movement that started with the Jews. It then went to the Samaritans – a group that the Jews did not like at all. But when Luke tells this particular story it sounds strangely like the story that unfolded in Jerusalem. A story that happened at the temple – now it happened in Samaria. The day that Jesus spoke of had come. God is spirit … and we need not worship on this mountain or that one. We worship in spirit of truth.
