Episode #11: Do Your Job, Not the Holy Spirit's Job! (The Holy Spirit Series) Christ & Campus
-
- Christendom
One of our first excuses for remaining silent about Jesus is that we are afraid we don’t know enough, or can’t answer the questions of our friends, or will say the wrong thing. Here is the truth: We are not enough. We don’t know enough. We don’t have all the answers. Don't let that discourage you- you can carry out the mission that God has sent you to do even if you feel underprepared in your knowledge. God’s Spirit has it all under control. His job is to convict of sin, righteousness and judgment. That is divine work and we are not God. Don't try to do the Holy Spirit's work. Trust that the Spirit will do His job of convicting and convincing. Your job is to obediently proclaim the Good News of Jesus while depending on the Spirit and His divine work. Don’t let that discourage you, let that drive you to dependence on the Holy Spirit. This isn't a call to inaction- we still need to learn the gospel, prepare to share and study as evangelistic "workers". But, we depend upon the Spirit to work in and through our obedience to convict our hearers and draw them to Jesus. THAT is His job!
