 Okay, yeah, I guess it's ready to go. Good to go. Okay, welcome once again. So as I was saying, online students, you can download the notes from the class through classwork section, so under resources where we will be posting all the resources related to this course, the Holy Spirit. So if you have the notes, you can open it up and let's, we'll go through the course overview and what we're going to be looking at, how the grading works and so on, right? Okay, now before we start, let's look at one verse and then we'll pray. Okay, I'm just going to look at Proverbs chapter 10. Okay, Proverbs chapter 10 and verse 9. He who walks with integrity. Okay, Proverbs chapter 10 verse 9, everyone. Okay, so it says, he who walks with integrity walks securely. I just want to look at just that first part of that verse. Okay, second part says, but he who perverts his ways will become known. Okay, who he who corrupts his ways will become known no matter how the person tries to hide it, it will invariably, you know, it will come up, it will be known. Okay, first part says, he who walks with integrity walks securely. Okay, so what does that mean? That means that if I walk with truth in my heart, if I'm walking with integrity in my heart, then I'm going to be walking securely with confidence, with no sense of insecurity, no sense of fear, right? I'm going to be walking, we are going to be walking with confidence because you know that you're doing the right thing, right? That is what integrity is. Doing the right thing, being truthful to oneself. So he who walks with integrity walks securely. Maybe that is a key for some of us to really walk with confidence, to really walk without any kind of anxiety or any kind of fear, right? Fear of people, fear of, am I doing the right thing, right? How will this be received? When you know that you're doing the right thing, when you know that according to the Word of God that you are walking with integrity, that your actions are with integrity, that means that we will be able to walk securely, right? So why don't we just pray even as we come with this class, come at this course and come at ourselves, into God's hands, you know. With this thought, Lord, I want to walk with integrity. So you can tell the Lord, Lord, I want to walk with confidence, I want to walk with honesty, I want to walk securely. Walking means living, right? Our lifestyle, the way we live our lives, the way we conduct our lives and the requirement is that we walk with integrity. So let's tell the Lord, Lord, I want to walk with integrity. In other words, we're saying, Lord, I want to be led by your spirit because your way is truth. You are truth. Father God, this morning, Lord, each one of us, God, we come before you and even as we look into your Word, Lord, we see that as we walk with integrity, we will walk securely, we will walk with confidence, we will walk with boldness. And as your Word declares, the righteous are as bold as a lion. I pray for each one of us, God, that we would walk with that security. Lord, let all insecurity, let all fear and anxiety be removed, dismantled from our lives, Lord. Father God, even as we look to you, even as we make a choice, make a decision to walk with integrity, being truthful to our own selves, not deceiving our own selves, God, and walking according to your Word. Yes, Master, we thank you and we commit ourselves into your mighty hands. We commit this course, Lord. We commit ourselves, Lord, as we pursue this course, the Holy Spirit. Lord, we pray that you would greatly, Lord, enhance our understanding, expand our understanding. Lord, we pray that you would meet with us. Lord, we pray that each one of us will have an encounter in the Holy Ghost. And Lord, we pray, oh God, that encounter will mark us for life, Lord. Will change us from the inside out, oh God. And I just pray, God, that everything that we are learning, God, that we'll be able to apply, God, and action it and apply it in our lives. We commit ourselves into your mighty hands. In Jesus Master's name, we pray. Amen. Amen. Okay, so we have a lot of new faces, of course. So we want to welcome all of you and here also. So we'll get to know one another as we go along. Okay, so if you open your, the post material, so we see that we are looking at this course which is about the Holy Spirit. So if you see, you know, it's called the person and work of the Holy Spirit. Okay, does everyone have? No? Okay, you can share it for today. Maybe next class after the break, you can take it. Okay, right. So we're going to look at the person of the Holy Spirit, the work of the Holy Spirit. And if you look at the contents, we're going to start with the Trinity, right? Because the Bible just declares that God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. So we're going to understand a little bit about Trinity and we're going to look at, you know, how the Holy Spirit is a person and then we're going to look at the work of the Holy Spirit or what the Holy Spirit did in the Old Testament, right? And then are we going to look at the New Testament and what he did in the New Testament and particularly we're going to look at the Book of Acts. And then we're going to move on to the work of the Holy Spirit in church history, the work of the Holy Spirit in one who is a sinner, what does the Holy Spirit do? And we're going to look at how the Holy Spirit works in a believer's life. So we understand, okay, this is what the Holy Spirit does and this is what he does in me, right? So this is how I can actually receive his help to live how I need to live as a believer and so on. And then we're going to move on to baptism of the Holy Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit. And it's again a very interesting section because we're going to look at each of these gifts in detail. What are these gifts? Why are they given? And is it for me? Are these gifts for me? And all these. And then finally we're going to close with the names of the Holy Spirit and symbols of the Holy Spirit. How are we going to grade or assess this particular course? We're going to have two sections or two quizzes each carrying 50% marks. And this is applicable for online students and e-learning as well and also for in person, right? We're going to have two quizzes in this semester. Okay, some more resources. We'll continue to upload it in the days to come. Books by Pastor Ashish and other resources. We'll upload it in the resource section. Okay, and you will, in person class, you will receive the books. Okay, okay. So let's look at, let's go on to this first chapter on Trinity. Okay, so who can tell me where in the Bible do we find the word Trinity? Is it the Old Testament or is it the New Testament? Okay, it is not mentioned in the Bible. Okay, how many of you are saying Old Testament? Okay, I'm having a show of hands here. Pastor, it is not mentioned in the Bible. Sorry, Gertrude, one second. I'm not able to hear you. Can you speak up a little louder please? It is not mentioned in the Bible anyway. Okay. Okay, so Gertrude says it's not mentioned in the Bible. How many of you are saying yes, it's not mentioned or no, it's not mentioned. Okay, I see two hands here. So that's, that's very true, right? So the word Trinity itself is, is not found in the Bible. Okay, the word Trinity, it's, it's what Bibles call us, call it as a theological construct. I mean, you don't have to worry about that. But it's just a word which is used to define or describe something which is in the Bible. Okay, so word Trinity is not in the Bible at all. But do we see pictures or the description of the Trinity in the Bible? Yes or no? Yes, right? So let's, yeah, so let's look at a few, few verses here. We're going to, you know, keep going and if you have your Bibles, just keep it open. We're going to look at several scriptures that actually point to the fact that God is a triune God. Okay, so in systematic theology you'll be learning more about, you know, the Trinity and in-depth in detail. But here today we're going to, we're going to just have an overview of the fact that the Bible declares God to be a triune God. So what does that mean? Does that mean that God, we are actually worshiping three gods? No, it just means that God exists in three persons but he's one God. Okay, so that is, that is what we see here and the Bible just assumes or Bible just declares this is who God is. Okay, just like how we see in Genesis where we see the Bible doesn't go on to explain, you know, many centuries ago or thousands of years ago there was this, you know, being supernatural being called God and, you know, this is, he always, you know, it doesn't go into all details. The Bible just starts by saying in the beginning God, in the beginning God, that's how it starts, right? So it just declares with a bang saying in the beginning God who was, who is, who is to come, you know, who will be, right? Just proclaims God. In the same way we see that there is a proclamation of Trinity, right? I'm sorry, just a minute. Okay, yeah, so there's a proclamation. Okay, let's look at, you know, Genesis chapter one. Okay, in your Bibles you can turn to Genesis chapter one and verses one to verses two to three, right? But actually let's read from verse one. Okay, says in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep and the spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Verse three, then God said, let there be light and there was light. Okay, so this is how the Bible just opens and it's just boldly, very boldly and, you know, very majestically declares. In the beginning God created and then it goes on to say the earth was without form and void darkness was on the face of the deep and the spirit of God was hovering over the waters. So talks about God, talks about the spirit of God and verse three, then God said, let there be light and there was light. So we see God being mentioned, Father, we see the Holy Spirit being mentioned, the spirit of God was hovering over the waters, right? So we see this. Okay, let's look at, you know, a parallel when we turn to Hebrews chapter one. Okay, let's turn to Hebrews chapter one and let's look at verse two. Okay, God, let's look at verse one and two. Okay, God who at various times and in various ways spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets has in these last days spoken to us by his son whom he had appointed heir of all things through whom also he made the worlds. Okay, do we see that? Right, Hebrews chapter one verse two, talking about the son, talking about Jesus who has, who he has appointed to create or through whom he made the worlds. Okay, so Genesis chapter one, the spirit of God was hovering over the waters and God said, God spoke, let there be and there was and Hebrews here testifies to that and it says that it's talking about the son who was who through whom everything was made, everything was created. Right, so we see the son being mentioned, we see the God father being mentioned, we see the Holy Spirit right at the beginning, right at the creation, we see that. Okay, let's look at two other verses. Okay, Ephesians chapter three and verse nine. Okay, Ephesians three and verse nine. Okay, maybe eight and nine. To me who am less than the least of all the saints this grace was given that I should reach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ. Okay, so this verse talks about the pre-existence or the eternal existence of the Son. Right, because sometimes people just say, okay, Jesus came into the world at this appointed time and they they think that, okay, that is the beginning. But we see in scriptures the pre-existence of the Lord Jesus who at the beginning was there and through whom all things were created. We see in Hebrews, we see in Ephesians, so which means that the early church understood this. Right, Paul is writing to the Ephesian church and this is what was taught and this is how they understood it and even right through even from Genesis that the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, they existed, the Trinity being mentioned right there at creation. Okay, then let's look at the birth of the Lord Jesus. The birth of the Lord Jesus. Luke chapter 1 verses 32 to 35 and you can just follow in the notes whether you can just you can open the notes. It's there. Yeah, Shani, you have a question. Yeah, I just wanted to clear. Was that Ephesians 3 9? Just one second. Just one second. I'm just going to, can you just turn this speaker please, this side so I can hear. Yeah, thanks. Yeah, that's fine. You can hear through this. Not clear. It's a little low, is it? Okay. Yeah, Shani, if you don't mind, if you can also, if you can put it on the chat, that'll be helpful because here it's kind of there's a resonance. Yeah. Okay, Anusha has a question. Where are the notes? Notes are in the class work section and you can go to resources and it's uploaded there. Can you see that? Okay, Ephesians 3 and verse 9. Yeah, yeah, that's right. Ephesians chapter 3 and verse 9, verses 8 and 9. If you read that. Okay, got that. Okay. Okay, so let's look at, you know, the birth of the Lord Jesus, Luke chapter 1, 32 to 35. Okay, so here also we see that the picture of Trinity. Now, why are we looking at all this? Why are we looking at all these scriptures and why do you want to establish that this fact that God exists in three persons as Father, Son and Holy Spirit because our cause is about the third person of the Trinity, about the Holy Spirit and it's important that we understand this. Okay, because there could be certain, you know, certain schools of thought or, you know, people saying that, okay, it's only about Yahweh, right? Or people could be saying it's only about Jesus, Jesus only, right? Or, I don't know, people could also be talking about it and it's only the Holy Spirit and I think that's, that's, that could be a very small, you know, minority. But then the fact is that God, right through scripture, the scriptural understanding of God is that God is a triune being, right? That he exists in three persons. Okay, so we can explain Trinity, we can go to, you know, a great extent, we can simplify it and we can say things like, you know, it is like how we look at water, okay, water you heat it, it becomes steam and water you freeze it, it becomes ice and so on, you know, all these simplistic explanations to explain about Trinity, but it still falls short of full understanding because it's a mystery, right? At the end of it, for our human understanding, you know, for us, you know, a lot of things are a mystery, right? For example, we can be in one place at one time, yeah? Time, space, we are finite and if you're here in Bangalore, you cannot be in Chennai physically or in Mumbai, physically. But when we, when we look at the nature of God, we see that he is omnipresent, right? When we see, especially when we look through the Bible, we see that he's here and he's talking to another person at the same time, especially in the book of Acts, you know, we looked at Ananias and, you know, so we see that God is omnipresent, which means he's present everywhere, yeah? At the same time, that itself is a mystery, right? For us, so also Trinity, the fact that God is a triune God, we see these verses, we see that, yes, it is mentioned in the Bible. In creation at the birth, when he's talking about the birth of the Lord or the coming of the Lord, it talks about God being so distant as far, so distinct as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, okay? So let's look at this verse. So look chapter 1, verse 32, right? The angels said to Mary, these are the words of the angel and it's announcing, the angel meets with Mary and announces to Mary what is going to happen, okay? So it's talking about the Lord. Verse 32, He will be great and will be called the Son of the highest, okay? Who will be great? Jesus, right? It's talking about the Lord Jesus saying He will be great and He will be called the Son of the highest and the Lord God will give him the throne of his Father David and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever and of this kingdom there will be no end, meaning it's something which is eternal. Every kingdom or every reign of every king comes to an end, right? But here says that of his kingdom there will be no end and then Mary says to the angel, Mary said to the angel, how can this be? Since I do not know a man and the angel answered and said to her, the Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the highest will overshadow you. Therefore also the Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God, okay? So how many persons are mentioned here, right? How many do we see? Three, right? Says the Holy Spirit will come upon you, so Holy Spirit is mentioned and then the power of the highest, again in the verses preceding that, it's talking about the power of the Son of the highest. He shall be called the Son of the highest, like talking about God, Father. Then says and the power of the highest will overshadow you and that which is born, the Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God, so is referring to the Son. So we see we cannot actually negate or leave out any one person of the Trinity, right? Just because, hey, I don't understand this, you know, how can one plus one plus one be one, right? One plus one plus one is three, right? So that's you know, regular, usual mathematics, so just because we don't understand that if I leave one out, right? If I say, okay, I don't understand this, I'm just going to leave this out of my framework, of my, you know, scriptural understanding, then we'll be in great problem because one, the Bible is full of that, Bible is full of references to each of the persons of Trinity and we see these scriptures over and over again where the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit is mentioned, okay? So we see that the Father's mentioned the Son and the Holy Spirit, okay? Another place, okay, we are moving on. Another place where we see very clearly the Trinity being mentioned is in the baptism, the baptism of the Lord Jesus, okay? Matthew chapter 3, Matthew chapter 3 and the Lord is meeting John the Baptist and John the Baptist announces or introduces the Lord to everyone saying, he's not worthy to even, you know, carry the sandals and all that and then the Lord Jesus comes on the same and says, you know, I need to be baptized by you. So this is what happened, okay? So we're looking at verse 16, okay? So the Lord is baptized, he comes out of the water. It says, when he had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water and behold, the heavens were open to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon him, okay? So the Son is coming out of the water, Jesus, the Son who's baptized is coming out of the water and it says here that the heavens were open and the Spirit of God descended upon him. So we see the Son and we see the Holy Spirit being mentioned here. Next verse, verse 17 and suddenly a voice came from heaven saying, this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. So another amazing picture of the Trinity, right? The Son coming out of the water. It must have been amazing to be there at that time to watch this, the outworking or the, you know, the presence of the Trinity. The Son coming out of the water, the Spirit of God descending upon the Son and a voice from heaven, the voice of the Father, obviously it's the voice of the Father because the voice declares, this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. So God the Father declaring and affirming that Jesus is his beloved Son in whom he is well pleased and the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit descending upon the Son. Again we see the picture of Trinity. So there should be no doubt in our minds, you know, is God triune? Yes, right? There's several references. Maybe we didn't, you know, go through all these references but when we look at scripture, we see that there are these references and even more. Okay, then we move on to Matthew 28, Matthew chapter 28 and the commission, the commissioning, the Lord Jesus gives this instruction to the disciples and it was 19 and he says, Matthew 28 and verse 19, go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Now that's a very important statement. Why? Because the Son here is declaring, he's giving the commission, what we call as the Great Commission, right? He's commanding the disciples. This is what you need to go, go to all the nations, you need to make disciples of all the nations, teaching them to observe all the commandments and he's saying you baptize them in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. So several things that we learn here, right? One is the Lord Jesus is putting the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit on the same level, same plane, right? It's baptizing in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. So which means that the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit are co-equal on the same level. No one is, you know, greater or lower or junior or senior. Sorry. Yes, there are several verses which talk about the difference in roles. We'll come to that a little later. But this is what we see and he's saying, when you baptize, you baptize in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, right? So in Jesus' mind there was no difference. Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, God, Trinity, triune God, okay? And we see this again in the picture of Trinity, okay? Then let's look at Hebrews chapter 9, okay? Hebrews 9 and verse 14. We have seen about four so far, okay? Hebrews chapter 9 and verse 14, okay? What does it say? It says, okay, let's just read from verse 11 onwards, okay? Hebrews 9 verse 11. But Christ came as high priest of the good things to come with the greater and the more perfect and the more perfect tabernacle not made with hands that is not of this creation, not with the blood of goats and calves but with his own blood he entered the most holy place once for all having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of bulls and goats and ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ who through the eternal spirit offered himself without spot to God cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God, okay? We are looking at verse 14. Let's read that again. How much more shall the blood of Christ who through the eternal spirit offered himself without spot to God cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God. Do we see the Trinity there, right? We see, right? How the Son offered himself through the eternal spirit meaning through the work of the eternal spirit and it talks about how he offered himself without spot which means without any blemish, without any sin, without any limitation, right? How he offered himself to God and this whole act of redemption cleanses us, cleanses our conscience to serve the living God. Okay, so here also we see the Son being mentioned, the Holy Spirit who enabled the Son to offer himself as a living sacrifice to the Father. Okay, so in redemption so we see that every, what shall we say, you know, every milestone if you want to call it that or every, you know, every crossroad, every significant moment through the timeline of scripture, we see the Trinity. We see God as being described, we see the functioning, the working of God as a trying being. Okay, so in redemption the Trinity is again revealed. What about the resurrection? Okay, Romans chapter 6 verse 4, therefore we were buried within, Romans chapter 6 and verse 4, therefore we were buried within through baptism into death that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father even so we should walk in the newness of the Father and the Son. Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father. Okay, and we read in the previous verse that through the eternal spirit he offered himself. Okay, another verse, Romans chapter 8 and verse 11, but if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead would also give life to your mortal bodies through his spirit who dwells in you. Okay, let's read that again. If the Spirit of him, Spirit of who? Jesus or who raised Jesus from the dead, so who's he referring to? If you read that verse, if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead, yeah referring to the Father, right? If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead, so the Spirit of the Father who raised Jesus from the dead, so you see the Holy Spirit, see the God, the Father being mentioned there, you see the the Lord, the Son, the Jesus being mentioned here, right? So if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his spirit. So he's saying, you know, you receive life from the Father through the work of the Holy Spirit and this Holy Spirit raised Jesus from the dead. Okay, so in the resurrection of the Lord again, very significant moment in history, a very significant moment for entire humanity, right? It is because of the death burial and resurrection that our lives are changed, our destinies are changed. So very significant moment we see the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit working together or designing and you know orchestrating this whole thing so that we could have life. The Spirit of him who gives life to our mortal bodies, okay? Okay, and we, you know, like this, we can go on, there are several other places, when we come to the book of Acts, Acts chapter 7 and yeah, yeah, Shani. Can you do Romans 6-4 again, please? I'm sorry, your voice is a little, I think putting it on the chat would help, Shani, if you don't mind. Yeah, if you put it on the chat, that'll help, please. I think from some folks it's a little clear, but from some it's not clear, something's in. Okay, can you go over Romans 6 verse 4 again, sure. Okay, let's look at Romans 6 and verse 4. Okay, so Romans 6, so therefore, therefore we were buried with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we should also walk in the newness of life. So we were referring to the fact that, you know, we were buried with him and, you know, through baptism into death, you know, symbolic of the death, burial and resurrection. And it here, this particular verse refers to the Lord Jesus being mentioned here and also the Father. So it says that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we should also walk in the newness of life. So the reason we looked at the verse is we see Christ being mentioned, we see the Father being mentioned in the work of resurrection. And then we looked at Romans 8 and 11, which talks about the, yeah, which talks about, yes, the next verse being Romans chapter 8 and verse 11, where we see that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit being mentioned in the work of resurrection. Okay, hope that helps. Right, okay, okay. Fine, so we're looking at Acts chapter 7, right? Acts chapter 7 and, you know, very exciting times at the same time, very tumultuous time in the New Testament. We see that, you know, the New Testament church being born and people coming to know and being added to the church and so on. And we see here, Stephen being mentioned and Stephen is mentioned as someone who's full of the Holy Spirit and he's mentioned with others, right? And there were seven who were chosen, people of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit, wisdom and so on. That's all chapter 6 and verse 5 describes these people who were chosen to take care of the administrative work in the early church, right? So here in the martyrdom of Stephen, right, Stephen is brought before the people and just before he is actually martyred, okay, killed for being a witness for Christ, we see this. Acts chapter 7 and verse 55 says, but he being full of the Holy Spirit. Okay, so he's all, you know, wherever he's mentioned, he's mentioned as a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit. Okay, so here we see the same thing with he being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God and said, look, I see the heavens open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God. So he has this vision and he declass this and, you know, they're not able to tolerate that and then they they put him to death by stoning him to death. That is what we see. But then Stephen declass this, he says, he first of all is full of the Holy Spirit and then he says, you know, this is what I see. I see the Lord Jesus. I see the Son standing next to the Father and heavens were open before, for him and he says, I see the heavens open. I see the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God and they rushed towards him and he was martyred there. Okay, so in the martyrdom of Stephen, we see the Trinity again being referred to. Okay, lastly, there are other scriptures but this is something, you know, you can go through that, John 5 17 and so on. But we look at Revelation 5 and it says, Revelation 5 and verse 6, and I looked and behold in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures and in the midst of the elders stood a lamb as though it had been slain. Having seven horns and seven eyes which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth and then he came and took the scroll out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne. Okay, the lamb of God referring to the Son and it talks about the seven spirits of God, you know, referring to the seven characteristics of the Spirit of God. You know, we're going to be studying that again when we look at these characteristics being referenced in the book of Isaiah. Isaiah chapter 11 actually gives these characteristics. Isaiah 11, how the Holy Spirit is the spirit of wisdom and understanding and counsel and might and so on. So we will look at that when we study later. But we see that the Spirit is being mentioned. We see that the lamb of God is there in the heavens and then we see the one who sits on the throne, God the Father being referenced. Okay, Gertrude has a question, if God is loved then why violent death for the disciples? Well God is love and we know that well that the martyrdom was not orchestrated by God, right? It is because of the people who did not want to receive the message who were against the receiving the Savior and his and his love, right? So and that is the reason for martyrdom, people who gave their lives for the sake of the gospel and that continues to do that. Yeah, so is the Seven Spirits the Holy Spirit? Yes, it's the characteristics of the Holy Spirit, okay? And which we see in Isaiah chapter 11, if you go through Isaiah chapter 11, the first few verses talk about Spirit of Understanding, Spirit of Wisdom, Knowledge of the Lord, Fear of the Lord and so on about the Holy Spirit. Okay, right and I hope that helps Gertrude and also Shanee. Yes, Pastor. Yeah, okay. Okay, so yeah, with that we come to the end of this chapter, which is on the Trinity. So there are several other verses also, you know, 1 Peter 1 and verse 2, 1 and 2 John 14. So, you know, you can go through that, but the reason why we want to want to go through this whole thing is to for us to understand that there are specific scriptures which talk about the Trinity. And we need to know, we need to be sure of these scriptures because we don't want to miss out on any of the, you know, the ministry of the Father or the Son of the Holy Spirit. We don't want to leave that out of our lives. That is one thing and we need to understand that. Yes, this is a mystery for sure, just like the omnipotence of God or omniscience of God or omnipresence of God, but just because it is, it does not fit our finite understanding, we don't have, we should not leave that out. Okay, Stipchia very boldly, clearly declares right from Genesis 2, Revelation and all these significant moments, the picture or the description of Trinity or the presence of God being mentioned as Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Right? Okay, so let's remember that. Okay, so in Luke 32, 33, what does it mean when it says that the Lord God will give him the throne of his Father David and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. Yeah, so it's talking about the Father and how he will reign over, the throne of David, you know, the Lord came in the lineage of David, you know, earthly speaking through David's line and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. Right? The spiritual house, he will, he's going to reign forever and that term forever is that he's eternal, his rule and reign is going to be, his rule and reign is eternal. So that is what it refers to, Luke 32 and verse 33, when Luke 32 or just one second, please. Or do we look at Luke 2, right? Yeah, Luke chapter 1 and verse 32 to 33, right? That's the one. Okay, fine. Yeah, so yeah, so that's the, so that it was that it talks about natural lineage and it talks about how the Lord Jesus is actually from that lineage, the earthly lineage and the fact is that he rules over the house of Jacob that he is, you know, he's the sun is, he's the reigning one and its reign is not a, it's not for a time period but it's a eternal reign. Yeah? Okay, so we'll take a break and we'll come back in 10 minutes. Thank you.
