I am a project manager by profession and as a Project Manager what intrigues me is- what was GOD project plan when he decided to send out the message of salvation to world?
Step 1 was definitely to send his SON Jesus Christ to the world as a complete MAN and complete GOD so that he could bring salvation to the world through his death and resurrection.
Step 2 - This really baffles me because all that Jesus said was that he will leave his HOLY SPIRIT with us who will guide our path.
Almost 2000 years later Christianity is still a force to reckon with, though some argue that its influence in the western hemisphere have dwindled in the last couple of decades. But did the West ever wholeheartedly accept Christianity? Thats a different topic altogether which I may want to discuss in my next blogs.
Any genuine leader of any sort of organisation is always working on his succession plan. But what was Jesus's succession plan on planet earth? He sent the HOLY SPIRIT. Interesting to note here is that he did not write a book to guide us, which probably any leader would do. But then, does he need to write a book when he himself is the Living Word?
He left it to GOD the HOLY SPIRIT who alone can reveal Christ's mind to us.
As Christians why do we complain of lack of Knowledge & Understanding? The early church's only guide was the HOLY SPIRIT. Notably the New Testament was not formed until 4 AD.
So isn't HOLY Spirit enough to guide us and equip us in ways of GOD.
PS - I am nowhere diluting the importance of reading scriptures. I am only pointing out to the sufficiency of the SPIRIT OF GOD for our Christian Living
