“And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.”
John 1:32 KJV
Then, as he baptized Jesus, he proclaimed these words: “I see the Spirit of God appear like a dove descending from the heavenly realm and landing upon Him—and it remained on Him! Jesus, the Lamb, took away our sins, and the Holy Spirit, the dove, brings to man the life of God. Jesus didn’t come to start a movement but to bring the fullness of life to us. This dove points to the dove that Noah released from the ark. It found no place to rest in a fallen world. The last time Noah released the dove it flew and never returned. It flew throughout history over Abraham and the patriarchs, over the prophets and kings with no place to rest, until at last, there was a Heavenly Man Who carried the life of heaven - upon Him the dove (Holy Spirit) rested and remained. There was nothing that could offend heaven in the life of our Lord Jesus. The Holy Spirit is on the earth to empower us to live the supernatural life Jesus promised us in His Word. Let’s believe that. Amen!
