Well, question number 50 and also Psalm 110. Psalm 110 would be the appropriate place to start in terms of scripture. Psalm 110, if you turn to find the book of Psalms, you just kind of open your Bible like that and you'll find roughly you'll be in the book of Psalms. And Psalm 110, Actually, I'm gonna read it for us. It says it's a psalm of David, but that's where David stops really. It's the Holy Spirit who actually gives us this psalm as the rest of scripture. And it's speaking about the Father and the Son, and even hints there of the Holy Spirit as well. But we're especially interested because this is one of the psalms that's quoted, I think the most in the New Testament, and specifically by the Lord Jesus Christ. It says, a Psalm of David, the Lord says to my Lord, sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool. The Lord sends forth from Zion your mighty scepter. Rule in the midst of your enemies. Your people will offer themselves freely on the day of your power in holy garments. From the womb of the morning, the dew of your youth will be yours. The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind. You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. The Lord is at your right hand. He will shatter kings on the day of his wrath. He will execute judgments among the nations, filling them with corpses. He will shatter chiefs over the wide earth. He will drink from the brook by the way. Therefore, he will lift up his head. So, why have we chosen Psalm 110? Well, it's not only one of the proof texts of where we are, but it's very appropriate, because we've got to question number 50, and it says, why the next words? That's in the Apostles' Creed, and is seated at the right hand of God. It says, because Christ ascended to heaven to show there that he is the head of his church, the one through whom the Father rules, all things. And I think we said, didn't we, I think in recent weeks that when Richard Brooks actually did Catechism Class for us a long time ago now, He said in the Apostles' Creed, there are probably two lines there regarding the gospel, which are probably about the most neglected. Anybody remember what they were, which we said? Two of the lines about the gospel, which are probably two of the more neglected ones. Anyone remember which ones they were? Or have a guess? Yeah, he was buried, that's one. And we saw from 1 Corinthians that it's a very important part of the gospel, and the Heidelberg Catechism beautifully brings it out for us in one of the earlier questions, 41. It's just short, but it says, why was he buried? His burial testifies that he really died. So his burial, and then one other one, anyone remember the other one? From the Apostles' Creed regarding Christ. Anybody have a guess? Yeah, he ascended. And I know it seems obvious, but we can sometimes focus on the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, his resurrection, and sometimes almost leave the gospel there. But actually, of course, we mentioned the burial, but the fact is, where is Jesus Christ right now in Rivka? In heaven, where? Yeah, exactly. He's the right hand of God the Father. So, though we cannot see him physically with our eyes, he still withers here in the church by the Holy Spirit. And he's still ruling over his church. He's not inactive. He's not passively looking down, thinking, I hope things work out okay. No, he's continuing the ministry, but it's the Holy Spirit who's doing it. In fact, in Revelation, in the seven churches, someone remind us what we see of Christ in the seven churches. That picture, anybody? Walking in the midst of the candlesticks. So before we ever arrived here this morning, as it were, Christ was here before us. Now I hope that's comforting and at the same time I hope it raises the bar in terms of the fear of the Lord as well. I hope it raises the bar in terms of the fear of the Lord, but also the comfort of the Lord, and the fear of the Lord and the comfort of the Lord need to go together for us. So, here we see why the next words, and is seated, is that the right, yeah, is seated at the right hand of God, is that the right question? Yeah, because Christ ascended to heaven to show that he is the head of the church, the one through whom the Father rules all things, Psalm 110 says, the Lord says to my Lord, sit at my right hand. Okay, you've got two Lords here in the first line. The Lord says to my Lord. Well, which one is which? Anybody have a guess? It says, the Lord says to my Lord. Who is it referring to here? The Father says to Jesus. Okay, or the Father says to the Son. Why do you think that, Simon? Yeah, well said, well said. Any other reasons why you think it's that? Anybody else? Simon's correct, but... Yes. Yeah, it's in capitals. But I'm just trying to tease out how we know which one is referring to which person. Simon's correct in what he said. Yeah, sit at my right hand, and we know from elsewhere it's the right hand of God the Father, but there's one other reason as well. Exactly, the Lord Jesus actually says, remember he says, well if David calls him Lord, then who is he? And it's the Christ. So in the Gospels, the Lord Jesus Christ tells us that the second one, the my Lord, is actually himself. Now, we rejoice in this, but the Jews, how did they respond? They were angry at him. Who does he think he is? thought this is just blasphemy and so within just days he was nailed on a tree and so the world always are hostile to Christ they always will be Simon No, that's a good point, Simon. Yeah, it's a great point. Actually, you've got, you've got this, you've got, you've got two, we actually, there's two different names of God actually given in Hebrew. You know the one that we translate Lord Simon said Yahweh. It's these four Hebrew letters Y H V or W depending, it's the same letter by the way. Well, I'll say Y H V H. And we don't know how to pronounce it, so it's always, in the New Testament, it translates it Lord. So you've got this name, which is unpronounceable, YHVH says to my Lord, and the name of God there is Adonai, which is another name of God. Exactly, normally. I always get those two mixed up. Yeah, no, sure. But Adonai's not a common name, but what we see here, like, you remember at school when you, remember in prisons at school, you used to shine your torch through and you'd get, I can't remember the three primary colours. Anyone remember those days? No. Yes? Red, blue and green. Red, blue and green. I just remember as a kid, just, we just loved it, shining a light through, and they gave us these three colours anyway. And what you've got here in Psalm 110, Of course, God is not a color, but you've actually got the colors of the Trinity. So if you've got the Father, YHVH, translated Lord, said to my Lord, Adonai, where's the Holy Spirit? In Psalm 110. Anybody have a guess? If you think he's mentioned, referred to at all? In verse two, what does he say, Maria? Okay, why do you think that's the Holy Spirit? Mm-hmm. I mean, I agree. Peter Naylor and I, I really gleaned this from Peter Naylor originally, that you've got in shadow there in verse two, the Lord sends forth from Zion. Remember, the Holy Spirit was sent by the Father and the Son, and it's the Holy Spirit who's now ruling in the midst of, or from Zion, And the church is now Zion on earth. And so we're not alone, the Holy Spirit, he's ruling. That's fascinating, isn't it? He's ruling. Sometimes we don't like that, we want to rule. But it's the Holy Spirit who's ruling and ruling by his word. And it says, rule in the midst of your enemies. And we have a lot of enemies, don't we? We have a lot of enemies in the church. And in Britain, the enemies seem to be growing. They're becoming much more vocal. You know, sheep, they've not got much to defend themselves, have they? Have you ever seen sheep on the hillside? I mean, what can a sheep do, Evan, to protect itself if a wild dog comes at it? What do you think? It can run away, anything else? It's true, it's true, but they can't. Who would win, you think? The dog or the sheep? I think the dog would probably prevail, wouldn't it? Or they could huddle together. And so we're, you know, we've got a measure of, we're defenceless in a sense ourselves, aren't we? But we're not, because the mighty Holy Spirit is the one who's on earth defending His church. And we see that through the Book of Acts. Who can remember who the first apostle was to die in the Bible? Anybody remember who it was? James. I'm thinking of someone who saved Stephen. He was a deacon, wasn't he? And Stoneton. How was James killed, anyone remember? Yeah, and who killed him? Herod. Somebody asked him, what happened to Herod? I don't remember. The people said that he was a god, he didn't give glory to God, so he was eaten alive by worms. I mean, isn't that remarkable? Does God then, here's another question for us, because we're looking at Christ the writer, and this is exciting for us now, in a sense it is, but does God do that to every enemy of the church? No. Why not? Well some are some are I think that the point is is that God is sovereign and we leave the judgment over God but the worst thing that can happen to a human being really is if they don't repent is to come against God's church I mean, I'm not a medical doctor, but to be eaten by worms, and Luke as a medical doctor records that, and it's a judgment of God against Herod. and uh... so it's a fearful thing and i think a lot of christians don't have that sense of fear and we need it we need it so the lord is at the right hand of god the father the lord jesus yeah yeah that's a very good point sir exactly Precisely, but there will be different measures of judgment as well, won't there? It's a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Well, let's read question 51. We'll read the question and the answer together if we can. Question 51, out loud. Let's say it together. How does this glory of Christ our head benefit us? First, through his Holy Spirit, he pours out gifts from heaven upon us, his members. Second, by his power, he defends and keeps us safe from all enemies. So here we're getting now to the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, especially at the end of the line, where it says, I believe in God the Father Almighty, I believe in the Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, and then I believe in the Holy Spirit. And I think it was Charles Spurgeon, and you can imagine, it's a demanding task, preaching week by week. And we read Spurgeon's sermons, and you think, well, he was a very, Good orator he was. Many of us, we've been led to believe anyway, there were steps at the tabernacle. And before Spurgeon would ascend into the pulpit as he went on each step of the, each of the steps up into the pulpit, he would whisper to himself, I believe in the Holy Spirit. Next step, I believe in the Holy Spirit. Why was he doing that? Because he realized unless the Holy Spirit not only helps Spurgeon, but help the people. and sanctified him to grow in grace. So here it says, how does this glory of Christ now have benefits us? First, through his Holy Spirit, he pours out gifts from heaven upon his members, and second, by his power, he defends us and keeps us safe. Let's just turn to John's Gospel for a moment, and we'll just look at the five references to the sending of the Holy Spirit by the Lord Jesus Christ. I don't know how familiar you are with John's Gospel, If you don't want to tackle the whole of John's Gospel, how about reading John 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17? And these are the, you know, if you're writing a biography of someone, you'd normally give probably equal portions to a lot of their life. Here, John the Apostle, he's the last one to write this Gospel, and he devotes almost quarter, almost a quarter, of his gospel on the life of the Lord Jesus to just a few hours of his life. Isn't that remarkable? And it was in the upper room on the night before he was crucified. And he furnishes us here with a lot of the details. And who can tell us where John was sent in the upper room? Anyone remember? He was kneeling against you? Yeah, he was, he was. And at one stage he actually leaned upon the breast of Christ. Isn't that a beautiful picture? In fact, Jonathan Wynch, his father is a, well, yeah, he still is a minister, though he's very elderly and he doesn't minister anymore. And the last sermon he preached before he began to go down with Alzheimer's, I think it is already mentioned, was, and I've got it, I've not had a chance to listen to it yet, but it's John leaning upon the breast of Christ. And isn't that to be our spiritual position? Leaning upon Christ. And so, five verses, John 14 verse 16, the Lord Jesus begins to teach about the triune God in more detail, and especially that he is leaving and the Holy Spirit's coming. John 14 and verse 16, he introduces here, and I will ask the Father and He will give you another helper or comforter. Both words are good. Another helper to be with you forever, even the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive because it neither sees Him nor hears Him. knows him, you know him, for he dwells with you, and I will be in you. So that's the first introduction. I'm gonna send the holy, well he doesn't mention holy spirit, it's actually here first, he mentions the spirit of truth, whom he also calls the helper. So that's the first one. So that he gives, and John records for us. And then 14 in verse 26, what does that say? Well 25, these things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. Now, do you think the disciples knew? What do you think the disciples thought when Jesus says, while I am still with you? Did they comprehend, do you think, what was gonna happen? Anybody have a guess? I'm not saying you're right or wrong. Anybody? What about you, Mel? Do you think the disciples, they knew, we know what's gonna happen tomorrow, and when he says, you know, but while I am still with you, but, any ideas what they may have been thinking? Yeah, it is. And don't forget they've not got John's gospel and Luke's gospel and Mark's gospel. And we're sometimes a bit hard on them, we think they're a little bit dull. But we also, you know, I think someone said once, you know, it's a humbling thing to be compared to sheep, because they're not the brightest of animals, are they? And never mind sheep, never mind the sheep in the upper room, we're also compared to sheep. Now he says, but the helper, that's the same Word again, this paraclete, this comforter, helper. And now he tells us who it is. The Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. And so we've got a building picture now of the importance of the Holy Spirit for the church. He's called the Comforter or Helper. He's called the Spirit of Truth. He's called the Holy Spirit. If he's called the Holy Spirit, what's one of the things that he will be working to do? Anybody? Exactly, exactly. Isn't that remarkable? It's one of the most, you know, of all the adjectives, that's a descriptive word, there could have been many adjectives which would have been predominant. It could have been the spirit of peace, the spirit of love, and at times we get that, but the predominant one is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit who comes to set us apart from the world and from sin and from the evils of our own flesh as well. And so that's the second one, 1426, and then 1526, he again teaches them even more. But when the Helper comes, whom I will send. So in the previous one, he says the Father will send, and now he says he will send. Well, who's doing the sending? Both are. Whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth, and so the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth, but you cannot have truth without two things, apart from the Holy Spirit, and it's the Bible and the Lord Jesus Christ. And we need all three to walk in truth, the Holy Spirit, the Lord Jesus Christ who says, I am the truth, and the scripture where in John 17, Jesus Christ prays and says, your word is truth. Your word is truth. And so, this is another reference here, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me, and you also will bear witness because you have been with me from the beginning. So the Holy Spirit will bear witness with us about the truths of the gospel, and strengthen us so that we can bear witness to others about the truth of the gospel as well. John 16, 7, there's another reference there, John 16 and verse 7, what does it say? Nevertheless, I tell you the truth that it is to your advantage that I go away. And again, we're not sure what they were really making of this. To your advantage. that I go away. For if I do not go away, again this word again, the helper or the comforter will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. And then here's an important aspect. When he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment. Concerning sin, because they do not believe in me. Concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer. Concerning judgment, because the rule of this world is judged. Sin, righteousness, and judgment. And how we need that work of the Holy Spirit, don't we? We really do, in our lives. concerning sin, that God would grip us by His Holy Spirit. And so one of the reference is in 1612, I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. Sometimes I get new Christians, and they want to know everything there is about Christianity within about three weeks. And so they're listening to, you know, three sermons a day. They're reading J.C. Ryle, they're reading John Calvin, they're reading this and that and the other all at the same time. But spiritual growth doesn't come like that. Of course, we need to feed ourselves spiritually. We need to be going to church, to be sitting and preaching. But they'd been sitting under the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ for three to three and a half years. And now he says to them, I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. And so we need to be patient, don't we? We need to be patient. Spiritual growth, doctrinal growth comes slowly. And he says, when the spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears, he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. So again, the Holy Spirit will glorify Christ, not man, but glorify Christ, and that's who we want to receive the glory. Hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness. He is the one who died for the church, and we're very thankful for, to testify to that truth. So any questions on any of those references there to the sending of the Holy Spirit from John, John's gospel there? Any comments or questions? Well, let's move on then to the next question, 52. How does Christ return to judge the living and the dead? How does Christ return to judge the living and the dead comfort you? Before we read the answer out loud, we're just reminded again of the first question. which is, what is your only comfort in life and in death? And the answer is, that I am not my own. That I am not my own. Before we read the answer to this one, question number one is the classic one people most remember for the Heidelberg Catechism, and it's the opposite, the answer of the Heidelberg Catechism is the opposite of the world, isn't it? The answer is, that I am not my own. everything in the world screams that you are your own, you need to be fulfilled, you need to find your destiny, you need to arrange everything all around yourself, but the biblical answer, the answer to Heidelberg Catechism is that I am not my own, but belong body and soul in life and in death to my faithful savior Jesus Christ. Jonathan Winch did a session on family worship, and he made reference to this at the conference, and it was most helpful. He's involved in overseeing a number of schools, the Emmanuel Schools Foundation, and they have round about 6,000 school children. And he said most of them are brought up in family situations, and the message of the world if you ask people what's the aim in life, what's the purpose of life, people cannot give you the answer. And so just the first question of the Heidelberg Catechism and the first question of the Westminster Shorter Catechism gives you the answer as to what your aim is in life. And so what's a Shorter Catechism? Who can tell us question one and the answer? of the shorter catechism. What is the chief end of man? And the answer is? Is to glorify God and to enjoy him forever. So in the first question there, you've got the purpose of the human being, is to glorify God and to enjoy him forever. And you've got more spiritual answers there than all the philosophers of this world. There are people who do PhDs, they're sociologists, they're philosophers, and at the end of their life, they don't get any nearer to getting to question one of the Shorter Catechism, and they die, many of them, without any hope in this world. And so you want to know what your purpose in life is. It's to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. So this question, let's say the answer together then. How does Christ return to judge the living and the dead come for you? Let's say the answer together. In all distress and persecution with uplifted head, I confidently await the very judge who has already offered himself to the judgment of God in my place and remove the whole curse from me. Christ will cast all his enemies and mine into everlasting condemnation, but will take me and all his chosen ones to himself into the joy and glory of heaven." Into the joy and glory of heaven. Notice, these reformed documents are not afraid to talk about everlasting punishment. And it's very sad, isn't it? The leaders of the Church of England, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Archbishop of York, have made this statement basically saying the Reformation was a mistake and we need to repent of the divisions it's caused. And what they mean by that is turning away from the Roman Catholic Church teaching. So we need to talk much about the 500th anniversary, as we call it anyway, this year of the Reformation. for the clarity of truth for the gospel that we enjoy. And one of them is this, that Christ returned to judge the living and the dead. Notice there's something missing in that answer there, which the Roman Catholic Church teach. Anyone know what's missing there? Purgatory, that's right. So the Roman Catholic Church, they did and they still do, they teach there's purgatory. So a kind of, well, okay, you weren't as good as you should be, you'll go to a temporary place of punishment and then after a while you'll be let out and you'll go to heaven. Well, it's completely false. One of the previous popes was called Joseph Ratzinger, Pope Benedict, remember the German pope, and he was a clear theologian. We don't agree with him on many points, maybe on the Trinity and some other aspects, but certainly not regarding salvation. I was just blown away when I read this. At least he was straightforward and he's honest in a sense. You know, he's not trying to... some of the Protestant liberals, they just cover their teaching with smoke screens, don't they? And he said this, he said, I have to acknowledge that the teaching of purgatory is not found in the Bible. Well, I thought that's a good statement. But he said, just because it's not found in the Bible, that doesn't mean that we shouldn't believe in it. And he said, if people have not invented the doctrine of purgatory, I would have to have invented it myself. I remember reading this, and I may have not quoted exactly line for line, but if you want me to, I had to go like this with my eyes. I thought, I just must have misread that, so I put my glasses on again, or whatever, and read it again, and that's what he said. It's not found in the Bible, but if it had not been invented, he would have invented it himself. And it's a total unbiblical teaching. And yet there are millions of people in Europe who believe in this. And so the Heidelberg Catechism teaches us, as the Bible does, faith's not in the Heidelberg Catechism, it's in the teaching of Scripture, that in all my distress and persecution with up left of head, I confidently await the very judge who has already offered himself to the judgment of God in my place and removed the whole curse from me. Christ will cast all his enemies and mine into everlasting condemnation but will take me and all his chosen ones to himself into the joy and the glory of heaven. Questions like this really strengthened the church in its history. For example, Dutch Christians, many of them suffered in World War II, many of them went to work camps, punishment camps, and some of them death camps. And some of my Dutch relatives have said to me, You know, you may think, well, why are we committed to catechizing here in Sheffield? Well, we're playing the long game. We're not just thinking about this Lord's Day. And one of my church brothers who's really committed to what we're doing here in Sheffield, He said, I'm really commending you, not teaching just the Heidelberg Catechism, but just by catechizing, passing on the content of the faith, because he said this to me. He said it was in World War II that men especially, it wasn't just men, men and women, but it was mainly men who were thrown into prison, I think. He said it was the Heidelberg Catechism that strengthened the faith of Dutch Christians in those prison camps in World War II. and he said they would get together and they would have been catechized the Heidelberg catechism and and Evan would have maybe remembered question one and then somebody else would have remembered a bit of question two and they began to pool their knowledge together and he began to strengthen them in their Christian faith and so isn't that significant we don't we don't we may not face anything like that But passing on the content of the faith is what we need to do in every generation. In fact, I would go as far to say is that every church needs to do it, to be committed to passing on the content of the faith, and not just assume that people know the content of the faith. And of course, that can happen in family worship, But especially elders who should be equipped to do these things should seek opportunities to do it. And we don't just use now to do it, we use many opportunities. It could be the Bible study at Costa Coffee or whatever, but we use many opportunities. But we've got to pass on the content of the faith. In this question 52, that Christ will cast all of his enemies and mine into everlasting condemnation, will no doubt have strengthened Christians as they were martyred. Anybody give me any Christians who were martyred at the time of the Reformation, maybe before 1517 or in the years afterwards. Anyone give me any names in this country or on the continent of Christians who were martyred. How did they die? Can you imagine that? You know, we can be a bit proud, can't we, as British people? You know, Great Britain. Well, righteousness exalts a nation, doesn't it? We'll only be great while we're committed to the Bible. But sin is a reproach to any people. We're a nation today far from God. And we remember just a few centuries before that our government were happy to burn preachers. for believing actually even things as simple that the Lord's Supper does not literally become the into the Roman Catholic doctrine of the physical body and blood of Christ and they refuse to believe that. Burn him. Anybody else? Any other martyrs of the Christian faith at that time? William Tyndale. I mean that's a tragedy for me. You know how he died? Well, he was betrayed by somebody, yeah, he was. And he was also burned in Antwerp, I believe, wasn't he? And I think it was King Henry VIII that actually brought Clot in. And he's probably, you know, in one way, he's probably one of the greatest Englishmen, really, to translate the Bible. And we have our Bibles today, but the Bible that we have here has come with a cost. It's come with a cost. Anybody else? Just maybe one of the one martyr. What made you mention him? I wanted to mention him. What made you mention him, Christopher? Yeah. And he was actually from memory, he was a reformer, I think, before Luther, wasn't he? So he was one of the forerunners. You know, people think, you know, we in a sense celebrate the Reformation from when Luther nailed the theses on the door. That's fine, but there was a lot of work before then and one of them was John Huss of Bohemia, wasn't he? And he was martyred. And as we're drawing to a close, Tertullian spoke in the early centuries that, you know, we need to be careful with this statement, but the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church. Now, we've got to be careful how we handle that one. Because one of the problems of the early church, they developed a, they tended to exalt martyrs. And you couldn't, you know, if you've been in prison for 20 years, they'd listen to you more than if you'd not been in prison sometimes. But being in prison doesn't mean you're going to preach the truth, does it? So we need to be careful of that. But remember that there's been a lot of people killed for the gospel. And don't think that the enemies of the gospel don't exist today. They do. They're alive and well and they hate Jesus Christ and and they hate you for believing in Jesus Christ They don't mind you having a teddy bear Jesus one that doesn't exist You know that would know Helen and then anything else, but if you hold firm to the biblical Christ You're gonna have a lot of enemies through this world. You're not gonna be mrs. Popular through life with everybody And he had to just face up to that You're following a crucified Savior. Well last question 20 What do you believe concerning the Holy Spirit? First that the Spirit with the Father and the Son is eternal God. What do the Jehovah's Witnesses believe about the Holy Spirit? Who do they believe He is? Do they believe the Holy Spirit is the eternal God? No. How do they describe the Holy Spirit as? The Torah Jehovah's Witnesses, unless they change their creed, which they do quite often, the last time I've spoken to them, they say he's like electricity. Is that true or false, Stephen, do you think that the Holy Spirit could be like electricity? False. Because? You can't grieve. The Bible says you don't grieve the Holy Spirit. It's an impersonal thing, you see. They don't know what to do. They deny the deity of Christ and they deny the deity of the Holy Spirit. If you don't believe the Holy Spirit is the eternal God, please come and talk to me afterwards and I'll show you the scriptures. And if you don't, you have to submit to the teaching, as it were, of the church, the Orthodox Church, Even if you don't understand it all, there was a couple in the book of Acts who died for lying to the Holy Spirit. Imagine that. What were their names? How come people don't die in the church today every time they lie to the Holy Spirit? Because the Lord doesn't do things all the time. He gives examples, doesn't he? You're going to say something, Simon. I was wondering, if this was the Kingdom Hall, they've said that the Holy Spirit went on holiday after last week's evening service. I don't know because I've never been in the Kingdom Hall. No, I'm just thinking, would that even count as the Holy Spirit being there? Oh, sorry. Okay. Actually, you know, Jehovah's Witnesses only have a morning service, so when I come to them, I actually give them the Gospel. But they often say, they often say to me nowadays, look, we're really busy, we need to go. But I say, look, you only have a morning service, don't you? And they say, yeah. And I say, we want you to come to our evening service. I've never had any success yet, by the way, but do invite them. So the Holy Spirit is the eternal God with the Father and the Son, and second, that the Spirit is given also to me, so that through true faith, he makes me share in Christ, and all of his benefits comforts me, and will remain with me forever. In fact, when we go back to John 14, and I think it was verse 16, we'll finish off with this. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, to be with you forever. So the Holy Spirit will be with us forever. And as we close, perhaps one of the very important doctrines that has been much neglected has been about the person of the Holy Spirit and the work of the Holy Spirit. And as a result of that neglect, we have untold confusion in the wider church today, don't we? People thinking the Holy Spirit's doing all kinds of things, which he clearly isn't. And the Bible teaches us that he isn't. And we need to really pray for God to grant the church help, to be instructed biblically about what the Holy Spirit is doing today and what He is not doing, because there's so much confusion in that area. Well, you've given some good answers, Simon, this morning, and I appreciated that, so why don't you close in prayer.
