Matthew 16:15-17 “‘But you,’ he asked them, ‘who do you say that I am?’ Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Christ the Son of the living God.’ Jesus responded, ‘Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father in heaven.’”

Without the Spirit of God moving through a person, to communicate the heart, character and plans of God, the person has no power to reveal those things on their own.

John 15:26 “But I will send you the Advocate – the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me.”

John 16:13-14 “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future. He will bring me glory by telling you whatever he receives from me.”

How does the Holy Spirit reveal Jesus to us?

o “Head knowledge” or “heart knowledge”

o Jeremiah 29:12-13 “You will call on me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart.”

What is it that the Holy Spirit wants to reveal to us about Jesus?

John 1:1-5

     o In the beginning…

     o Logos – the expression of God

o Jesus was/is with God.

     o Time, place, and relationship

     o Not simile or metaphor, but reality.
