JESUS’ OTHER SELF
John 3:1-16
The Holy Spirit is Jesus’ other self. He does in us what Jesus did for us. The longing for purity, the impulse to pray, the light that breaks in on the Book as you read, and on your daily questions, the new strength that comes—these tell of the Spirit’s presence within. As we yield habitually and gladly to Jesus, the Spirit within has a freer hand, and so his presence means life.
