This document discusses the strength and power that comes from the Holy Spirit. It notes that Jesus told his disciples to wait in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit before going out into the world. The Holy Spirit gives believers power to be witnesses for Christ. While humans are proud of their own strength, it is nothing compared to the strength from God and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit continues to empower believers and breathe new life into worship and the church.
Jesus Christ is described as the ‘morning star’ in 2 Peter 1:19 (phosphoros) and in Revelation 2:28 (aster proinos), and He identifies Himself as ‘the bright morning star’ (ho aster ho lampros ho proninos) in Revelation 22:16” (413).
He goes on to point out that this “star” symbolism reflects the Old Testament and inter-testament emphasis on the “celestial” nature of the coming Messiah (cf. Num. 24:17; Mal. 4:2).
William Barclay suggested several ideas. He thought the expression could signify the coming resurrection of the righteous. Just as the “morning star” breaks forth from the darkness of night, so the Lord’s people will break out of the darkness of the grave (1957, 67).
Later, however, he came to a different conclusion. He was “quite certain” that the “correct interpretation” is this. The “morning star” is Christ himself.
"Jesus didn't come to start a new religion, but to fulfill an old promise. That's what we learn about Jesus in his first sermon before his hometown audience. And it almost gets him killed."

The baptism of Jesus is a significant event. We see the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit manifested in the one place at the one time. it also marks the beginning of the public ministry of Jesus Christ.
What would our world be like had Christ never lived? What if He had not died or rose again? Unbelievers face a chaotic world without the benefit of Jesus and his peace.

Renewed in Grace
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
