Luke 11:13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children… I. The Holy Spirit is spoken of, in the text, as the best gift which God in His rich bounty can bestow on man. And, if we consider who the Holy Spirit is, and what He does for those who truly believe in Christ, we need not wonder that our Lord should thus speak of this unspeakable gift. He is our Guide, our Comforter, our Sanctifier. II. It is a plain and easy way which God has appointed for us, to obtain this precious gift: He will "give His Holy Spirit to them that ask Him." We are told "in everything by prayer" to "let" our "requests be made known mite God." (E. Blencowe, M. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? |
