What stood out today: v19:2-3 Paul asked, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" They answered, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit." So Paul asked, "Then what baptism did you receive? v15 The evil spirit answered them, "Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?" v17 When this became known to the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, they were all seized with fear, and the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor.
My response: Jesus, there is power in your name. Being baptized in your name we receive the gift of your Spirit, the Holy Spirit. If I were asked, who are you? I could answer clearly and confidently that I am yours! I am Richard, son of the Most High God, redeemed by the blood of Jesus and powered to life by His Spirit. Thank you, God.
