Bible Question:
My question is about the Holy Spirit. I Understand the concept of the Trinity, However what I don't understand was the role if any the Holy Spirit contributed to Christ Ministry before John the Baptist Baptized Jesus Mt 3:16. My questions Specifically are as follow: 1. Did Jesus have the Holy Spirit before he was baptized? Mt 3:16 2. Was he led by the Holy Spirit Before he was Baptized? (Scripture says "Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil." Mt 4:1) 3.If Christ was led by the Holy Spirit was it Jesus' own mortal soul that was led? (Being a believer I understand that the Holy Spirit works as a paraclete a comforter and counselor for my soul which enables me to act out Gods will in my life.) 4. Did Jesus have the Holy Spirit before he was Baptized. If the answer out there is yes, why would Scripture discribe in such detail in both a spirtual and tangibal manner. (As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting upon him. 5. If he did have the Holy Spirit before he was baptized, why is it that he could only perform miracles of turning water into wine Jn 2:1-11 healing Mt 4:23 after the Holy Spirit had ascended on him Mt 3:16. I pray that you can help answer these questions. God Bless you. |
Bible Answer: Dear Mike, As I am pressed for time, please allow me to attempt to reply to the question which for me seems the simplest to answer. 5. If he did have the Holy Spirit before he was baptized, why is it that he could only perform miracles of turning water into wine Jn 2:1-11 healing Mt 4:23 after the Holy Spirit had ascended on him Mt 3:16. It is not a matter of what Jesus could or could not do. We must remember that Christ came to do only that which His Father sent Him to do. John 5:19 Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner. John 5:36 "But the testimony which I have is greater than the testimony of John; for the works which the Father has given Me to accomplish--the very works that I do--testify about Me, that the Father has sent Me. God Bless, John |
