Turn on the Floodlight
The Holy Spirit shows us our need for Christ by shining Christ’s light into our lives.
Colin Smith: Open the Bible with Colin Smith. When a building is floodlit, you can see its beauty. But without the floodlights, it would be hidden in darkness.
The Holy Spirit shines a light on Jesus Christ. He illuminates the truth that without Him, we just wouldn't see. He opens our understanding to see who Jesus is and to grasp what He has accomplished. Jesus said, "The Holy Spirit will glorify me, for He will take what is mine and declare it to you."
See, the Holy Spirit is like a floodlight. He doesn't focus on Himself; He directs all our attention to Jesus. The Holy Spirit shows us our need of a Savior, and He shows us that Jesus is the Savior we need.
