Principal's Update  |
|
This theme for this week, the week beginning 19 May, is Pentecost – following on from Pentecost Sunday. The day of Pentecost marked the coming of the Holy Spirit to Jesus’ followers. Who is this Holy Spirit? God is so vast that he cannot be explained as one person. As humanity, we find it most easy to understand God in the person of Jesus because he was God made human, but the Holy Spirit is equally vital. The Holy Spirit may be explained as the creative and transforming power and energy of God. In the Bible, the Holy Spirit is likened to the wind. You cannot predict what the wind will do, you cannot see it but it is always there and can have tremendous force and power. The Holy Spirit is like that. Another illustration is that of a child’s bubble blowing liquid. What transforms the greasy liquid into perfect spheroids showing all the colours of the rainbow in sunlight? The answer is a puff of wind or a breath. It is no coincidence that the Hebrew word for Spirit of God in the Old Testament is ‘Ruach’ which means breath.
