REFLECTION
Jeremiah 31:31-33 speaks of a new covenant that God will make with His people. It will be a covenant where He writes His law on their hearts. Interestingly, the day of Pentecost when the Holy Ghost was first poured out, is the same day that Moses received the law on Sinai. Explain how the gift of the Holy Ghost fulfills Jeremiah’s prophecy.
When the Holy Ghost was poured out in the second chapter of Acts, the Bible says that the followers of Jesus “were all with one accord in one place”. Explore the idea of how unity (or disunity) in the church affects the manifestation of the Holy Spirit in the body of Christ.
According to the Theological Lexicon of the Old Testament, the word Sabbath means to cease, to disappear or to bring to a stop. In the Bible the Sabbath is a rest, or a ceasing from work. Isaiah 28:11-12 links tongues, and thus the Holy Spirit (see 1 Corinthians 14), to the rest which was promised to God’s people. Use scripture to show how the Holy Ghost is our Sabbath rest.
