LESSON FOUR (4)
TOPIC: GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT
BIBLE TEXT: John 16:7-14
[7]Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
[8]And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
[9]Of sin, because they believe not on me;
[10]Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
[11]Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
[12]I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
[13]Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
[14]He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
MEMORY VERSE: John 14:26 “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
LESSON AIM: To let the children know the Holy Spirit.
CENTRAL TRUTH: Holy Spirit is a person.
INTRODUCTION: The Holy Spirit is not just a power but a real person. The Holy Spirit is revealed by Jesus in the scriptures as a divine person (John 14:16,17,26). He is the third person of the Holy Trinity and actively involved in the work of creation and the work of salvation (Matthew 28:19-20; 2 Corin. 13:14). He is God (Acts 5:3-4). He has been with the Father from the beginning, sharing the work of creation with the Godhead (Genesis 1:2; Job 26:13). He has the attributes of knowledge, intelligence, feelings, affectionate. etc. Holy Spirit should not be mistaken for an influence.
