Lesson for June 9
THE HOLY SPIRIT
(Pentecost Lesson)
LESSON TEXT—John 16:7-11; Ro
mans 8:10-17, 26, 27.
GOLDEN TEXT —For as many as
are led by the Spirit of God, they
are the sons of God. —Romans 8:14.
PRIMARY TOPlC—Jesus Keeps
His Promise.
JUNIOR TOPIC—The Coming of
the Holy Spirit.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR
TOPIC—How the Holy Spirit Helps
Us.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT
TOPIC —The Work of the Holy
Spirit.
1. The Holy Spirit Promised
(Joel 2:28, 29).
The prophet foretold that in mes
sianic times there would be a
mighty effusion of the Holy Spirit.
1. He was to be poured out.
2. He was to be bestowed upon
all flesh, irrespective of age, sex, or
class.
3. This out-pouring was to issue
in extraordinary activity and serv
ice.
4. This activity was to be ac
companied by marvelous signs.
11. This Prophetic Promise Was
Partially Fulfilled at Pentecost
(Acts 2:1-21, 32, 33).
The unusual behavior of the
disciples at Pentecost, with Peter’s
preaching which resulted in the
conversion of thousands, evidenced
the supernatural, but the cosmic
signs which the prophet predicted
to take place in heaven and earth
were not in evidence. The real ful
fillment of the prophet’s prediction
is in the. future and will find ful
fillment in connection with the re
gathering of Israel and the estab
lishment of the Messianic Kingdom.
111. Some Names of the Holy
Spirit.
1. Comforter (John 14:16,
“Comforter” means literally “one
called to one’s side as a part taker,
an advocate, a helper and defend
er.” He is called “another Com
forter” as he was to take the place
of Jesus, who was soon going away.
2. The Witness (John 15:26).
The Spirit peculiarly witnesses of
Christ. He does not speak of him
self, but takes the things of Christ
and shows them unto us (John
16:13).
3. The Spirit of Truth (John
16:13). The Holy Spirit guides into
all truth. Those who are taught
by him know the truth.
IV. Some Works of the Spirit.
1. He regenerates (John 3:3-8).
The new birth is peculiarly the
Spirit’s work.
2. He teaches (John 14:26). The
Holy Spirit was to take up the
work of teaching the disciples
where Christ left off.
3. Convicts the world of sin
(John 163, The Holy Spirit
alone can show men the demerit of
their lives and their shortcomings
before God.
, 4. Convicts the world of right
eousness (John 16:10). The resur
rection and ascension of Christ
prove that he is the Righteous
One and that righteousness is only
possible as he is accepted as Sa
i vlor.
5. Convicts the world of Judg
ment (John 16.11). Sin unatoned
for shall be punished. The sinner
who refuses the righteousness
which God provided in Jesus Christ
shall be judged.
1 6. Gives victory over the flesh
(Rom. 8:2, 12, 13). By the energy
of the Holy Spirit the carnal na
ture can be kept in subjection.
7. He leads the believer (Rom.
8:14) The Splrit-fllled believer
t» life of the Son of God.
8. He gives assurance to the be
liever (Rom. 8:15-17). The Holy
Spirit witnesses together with the
human spirit to the reality of the
new birth.
9. Enables the believer to prav
according to the will of God (Rom.
8:26. 27). The Holy Spirit helps
the believer’s infirmities in prayer.
V. The Diversity of the Gifts of
the Spirit (I Cor. 12:4-11).
In the Church there are to be
found those possessing the gifts of
wisdom, faith, healing, miracles,
prophecy, discernment of spirits, di
vers kinds of tongues and the in
terpretation of tongues.
VI. The Sealing of the Spirit
(Eph. 1:13, 14).
Into the regenerated life comes
the Holy Spirit at once. The In
dwelling of the Divine Spirit is
God’s seal of ownership. It is not
only a seal of ownership, but of
security. It is also the guarantee
of the completion of the work of
redemption.
VII. The Unity of the Spirit
(Eph. 4:1-6).
Christian unity is only possible
when effected by the one Holy Spirit.
VIII. The Sin of Grieving the
Spirit (Eph. 4:30).
The Spirit may be grieved by
failure to respond to his initiative,
by yielding to the lust of the flesh,
the lust of the eye and the vain
glory of life, by failure to render
full and free obedience, as well as
failure to surrender every faculty
of the being to the control and di
rection of the Spirit.

Choosing the Funeral Establishment
Now, as always, to get business, those who have noth
ing to offer the public in real service, resort to unfair
propaganda to get business. In periods of depression
this type of unscrupulous methods are most noticeable.

our motto.
