Jesus Christ, The Baptizer with the Holy Spirit

While we face a great challenge termed "The Energy Crisis," there is no energy shortage in the spiritual realm! The early Church was commanded not to attempt ministry in their own power, but to wait in the city of Jerusalem, "until you are endued with power from on high" (Luke 24:49). Jesusī last words to His disciples concerned power. They were given the promise of it, and the purpose for it: "You shall receive power... and you shall be witnesses to Me. . ." (Acts 1:8).

You see, Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, the all powerful, Almighty God, confined Himself to a body when He came to earth to die for us. Yet, as He ascended to the right hand of the Father, He once again confined Himself to a body, the Body of Christ. That's us! In baptizing us with the Holy Spirit, He permeates every fiber of our being with His presence. He calls us to do a task, but follows through making the power available to do it.
