Description
The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit
By: Samuel Jardine
The Lord Jesus described the Father’s gift of the Holy Spirit as Ôanother Helper’ for believers (John 14:16). In fact, the witness of the Holy Spirit in the world, and His gracious indwelling of the church and the individual Christian is the defining feature of the present era. Do we not yearn to recapture something of the illumination and mighty empowerment of the Spirit that was so characteristic of the early church? If so, the teaching of scripture relative to the Holy Spirit Ð His Person and work Ð should be of fundamental interest to every Christian.
Following a consideration of the Spirit’s personality and deity, Jardine traces the works of the Spirit in the inspiration of scripture and the incarnation of our Lord. Prominence is given to considering the Holy Spirit’s mission in the world, and His work in the believer and the church. A particularly attractive feature of the book is the author’s comprehensive consideration of the symbols used in scripture to bring out the fullness of the Spirit’s Person and activity Ð water, oil, a dove, seal, earnest, wind, etc. Originally published by Precious Seed under the title Floods upon the Dry Ground, the book has been completely reformatted and given a more explicit title, to appeal to a new generation of readers. Here is an accessible book from which every believer can profit. Mr. Jardine’s treatment will not only instruct your mind, but delight your heart as he unfolds the loveliness of the Spirit’s Person and operations.
Sam Jardine was born into a Christian home in the city of Belfast in 1904. He trusted the Lord Jesus as a young man while lying on a hospital bed. He followed his father into the Baptist ministry and after college days in Dublin, saw much spiritual blessing in several pastorates in Northern Ireland. His ministry, later in the assemblies, was Christ-centred, building up and binding together the people of God, and took him to many parts of the British Isles, the Channel Islands, Canada and the USA. In personal life, Sam Jardine exemplified the practical outcome of the truth expressed within these covers, unmistakably declaring the presence of the unquenched Spirit.
