Who is the Holy Spirit?

I often have people ask me "Who is the Holy Spirit?  Why was He sent?"  Honestly, I  can't wrap my mind completely around the Holy Spirit either, but this I do believe, He was sent to call out a bride to receive Jesus' love and to prepare her to reign with Him forever and ever. 

There is a story in Genesis 24, where Abraham calls forth his most faithful servant Eleazar to find a bride for his son Isaac. Eleazar packs many gifts for Isaac's future bride and starts out on his long journey. After many days, he stops at a water hole to water his camels.  A beautiful woman, Rebeka was watering her camels also and offered some water for Eleazar's camels.  He knew then that she was the one for Isaac.

To make a long story short, ( a story worth reading) Rebeka agrees to leave her father and mother's home and to travel back to Isaac. On the way home all Rebeka wanted to talk about was Isaac, "What is he like?What color is his eyes?  How old is he?  Is he serious or funny?"  These might of been a few of her curiosities. 

This beautiful love story in Genesis 24 is a picture type of the calling out of the bride for Christ.  The Father after the resurrection and ascension of His Son Jesus, sent the Holy Spirit back to earth bearing spiritual gifts for His bride.  You and I, the bride of Christ, are own our way back to Jesus, and the Holy Spirit continuously reveals more and more to us, who Jesus Christ is in us,and the gifts that He sent to enable us to manifest His glory.. 

You and I have no idea how much Jesus really loves us and wants us to be with Him.  He is ready for His bride. Are we ready for our bridegroom?  This is the work of the Holy Spirit to SET US APART from the spirit of this world, our sin and to join us to Christ our bridegroom. The Holy Spirit is faithful to finish the good work He has started.   The gates of hell will not prevail against the church of Jesus Christ. I have read the back of the book and Jesus WON!
