Duncan reminded us that the Holy Spirit has been given to us to continue the good work that Jesus began. This is the same Holy Spirit that was co-working with Jesus throughout his ministry. Therefore, we should be invigorated and excited by the good work yet to be done.
The Holy Spirit came to empower the Apostles and does the same for us today. This is not a one time anointing of the Spirit, but a repeated process, as demonstrated in Acts 1-4. One of the primary reasons the Spirit empowers us is so that we can attest to God as witnesses.
So, as Christians, we should regularly come before God asking to be filled anew. For those that are not Christians, they to are invited to receive the Holy Spirit for the first time, as many did in Acts 2.
