Now, what comes to your mind when I say the Holy Spirit? That’s what we’re going to talk a bit about today as we continue in our series through those parts of the gospel of John, the fourth and last biographical account of the life of Jesus in the New Testament. Paul speaks of grieving the Holy Spirit, 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Ephesians 4:30. He also speaks of quenching the Holy Spirit, 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 1 Thessalonians 5:19. Stephen accuses his adversaries of always resisting the Holy Spirit, 51 “You stiff-necked people! Your hearts and ears are still uncircumcised. You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit! Acts 7:51. While it is possible to resist a mere force one cannot lie to or grieve something that is impersonal.
