It the New
Testament of the Holy Bible,
there are words on this, The Comforter. God sent his son Jesus to
bring us home someday. Jesus in turn, told us, and sent to us The
Comforter. The Comforter is
like the wind. You don't see the wind, but the wind is there. When
you think about things, the Comforter is like God. We don't see
God. Now Jesus, we see no more of, but there was a time he walked
among us. But God and the Comforter we see not, nor ever did, they
are like the wind.
Jesus told us when he was here and in
many places in the Bible about the Comforter. I was thinking about
one place on this:
John chapter 16. Read from about verse
5 and the following verses for a ways.
Verse 8. And when he is come, he will
reprove the world of sin. and of righteousness, and of judgment:
When a silversmith takes silver and
heats it to the melting point and works it, he takes out what is not
silver, leaving the pure silver.
This is what is meant here in this
verse. The Comforter comes, he takes what is not pure, and he works
with what he finds. Heating, and melting, till he has pure.
Reprove, is refining of you. You and I
he finds not pure, so he works with what he has. This is why the
road to Heaven is not always smooth. We are getting the Reprove, or
Refining. You and I will be like fine pure silver, when the
Comforter is done. That is if you and I allow him to do his work.
He is the one, that little voice that
says no, when you or I think about some sin that we might like to
do. He says no, He is doing the Reprove work. Refining that is.
Now if you or I still do something he said no to, well we will just
get put back in the fire a bit longer, got to have pure you know.
Now we know no matter what, we will
never be pure. But the Comforter will keep on working best he can
with what he has. We may never make it to being 99 and 44 of a 100%
pure, but if we give him a chance we might make it close.
Remember this is what Jesus came for,
he knew we was on the short comings, so he took our place and paid
the price. But he sent The Comforter to be with us.
While I am thinking about our place.
Remember if someone took your place to park your mule at church, if
someone took your back row seat in the pew at church. Remember
Jesus took your place, and paid the price for your sins. Hold your
hand out, and say, “Hello Stranger, nice to see you." Maybe the
next Sunday, they will no longer be a stranger. Maybe the church
picked up a new one to be Refined.
