The Day and Hour Unknown

Mark 13:32-37

  “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.    Be on guard! Be alert!  You do not know when that time will come.   It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants  in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.

    “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn.   If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping.   What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”

Works of the Holy Spirit

. Renews Us – Titus 3:5

he saved us,  not because of righteous things we had done,  but because of his mercy.  He saved us through the washing  of rebirth and renewal  by the Holy Spirit,

. Glorifies Christ – John 16:14

He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.

. Reveals Us – 1 Corinthians 2:9-10

However, as it is written:

  “What no eye has seen,

 what no ear has heard,

 and what no human mind has conceived”—

 the things God has prepared for those who love him— 

     these are the things God has revealed  to us by his Spirit. 

 The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

. Teaches Us – John 14:26

But the Advocate,  the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,  will teach you all things  and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

. Give Power – Acts 1:8

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;  and you will be my witnesses  in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria,  and to the ends of the earth.”
