Good morning boys and
girls!
Do
any of you have a special toy or stuffed animal or blanket? Why are they
special?
Boys
and girls, all of us have something special that comforts us. For you, it’s a
special toy or a favourite stuffed animal or blanket. For many of us adults,
it’s something like a doughnut and cup of coffee from Tim Horton’s! J
The
one thing that all of us as believers have is the Holy Spirit. It guides and
comforts us, especially when we are sad or having problems. Even the disciples
had the Holy Spirit, and they were with Jesus since the start of his ministry.
The
disciples were sad because Jesus was going to leave them. He was their friend
and teacher. He told them not to be sad, because he was going to send them
another helper who would remind them of everything he did, said and taught.
That helper’s name was the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit would help the
disciples grow the church by helping them to do God’s work in the world.
Boys
and girls, we can also have the Holy Spirit. All we have to do is believe in
Jesus and confess him as our Saviour. If we do, he will send us the Holy
Spirit, and the Holy Spirit will help us to do God’s work in our world. That
work can be anything from caring for the sick, helping around the house, or
telling other people about Jesus. Are you ready to help Jesus?
Let
us bow our heads for a moment of prayer. Dear God, thank you for your love.
Thank you for sending Jesus to die on the cross for us. Thank you for sending
the Holy Spirit to guide and comfort us. Help us to teach, guide and comfort
others, just like you teach, guide and comfort us. In Jesus’ name we pray,
AMEN.
