John 3:31-36
31 He who comes from above is above all; he who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.
32 He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony.
33 Whoever has accepted it has certified that God is truthful.
34 For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.
35 The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands.
36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.”
In this passage, Jesus, the one who comes from above, speaks words full of divine revelation and wisdom. He is not just the messenger of God’s words but the embodiment of God’s will. Every word He speaks reflects God’s heart and expresses His love. What stands out here is the phrase, “For God gives the Spirit without limit.” This deeply resonates, as it reflects the unhindered and boundless flow of the Holy Spirit in Jesus, empowering Him to fulfill His mission on Earth.
The role of the Holy Spirit is to bring comfort, strength, wisdom, and guidance to believers. The phrase “without limit” is especially significant—it means that Jesus, during His time on Earth, relied completely on this boundless Holy Spirit power. This power enabled Him to carry out God’s plan of salvation for humanity without any obstacle. Every action and word of Jesus was filled with the guidance and strength of the Holy Spirit, revealing God’s infinite wisdom and love.
Similarly, as ordinary people, we face many challenges and limitations in our daily lives. However, the power of the Holy Spirit is limitless. While we cannot possess the “limitless” Holy Spirit power that Jesus did, we can still rely on the Holy Spirit to experience endless wisdom and supply. When we invite the Holy Spirit into our lives, He guides us in infinite ways, giving us the wisdom and strength to navigate life’s difficulties.
Whether we are pursuing career heights or facing challenges in life, the Holy Spirit’s guidance and encouragement will always be by our side. The life Jesus demonstrated is one completely dependent on God, using the Holy Spirit to fulfill His mission. When we also rely on the Holy Spirit, our lives become more fulfilled and empowered. As Jesus said, God’s Spirit is without limit, and as long as we have faith, we, too, can experience this boundless supply.
