Isaiah 11:1-6 Gifts

When we think about Pentecost, we imagine the gifts of the Spirit from the lists in the New Testament, but before then the coming messiah is described by how the gifts are used. However, it is not just the gifts in power it is also that they come with the fruit of the Spirit, too.

So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
