June: The Holy Spirit in the Gospels
Use your concordance to find and read every mention of the Holy Spirit in the Gospels.
Make several lists.
First, list each one that mentions that Christ was conceived of the
Holy Spirit.
Then list those that speak of the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
Next, list the
verses that refer to the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.
Finally, list those verses that refer
to Him as the Comforter.
When the Spirit was involved in the conception of Christ, was he fulfilling His mission to
reveal the Word to man? What passage in John verifies this?
Is the baptism of the Holy Spirit the same as the gift of the Holy Spirit? In which two
chapters in Acts do you find the baptism of the Holy Spirit? Go to
https://www.christiancourier.com/articles/519-is-holy-spirit-baptism-available-today and
read the excellent article on the baptism that occurred in one of these chapters.
Did the
baptism of the Holy Spirit in each of these two chapters confirm or put a stamp of God’s
approval on anything? If so, what?
Next, read the articles at the following links:

2. https://www.christiancourier.com/articles/168-blasphemy-what-is-this-great-sin
How does the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit relate to one’s view of the mission of the
Holy Spirit as stated above in the May study.
How does the Spirit’s role as Comforter show Him to be the “revealer” and “confirmer” of
the Word?
List ways that His presence with the apostles provided divine Comfort for
them as they taught the gospel without any written Word. Could they have spread the
infant church without this Comfort? Why or why not?
Finally, and apart from the gospels, let’s look at a couple more passages about the
cessation of the miraculous.
Read Zechariah 13:1-6, I Corinthians 1: 5-8 and I Corinthians 13. Be prepared to discuss.
