God has a general will for us all, but then he has a specific will for each of us individually.

Dr. Tony Evans says God calls each of us to a unique purpose.

It is your personal walk with God that reveals to you what he wants to do with you.

This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the archives of Dr. Tony Evans.

Distractions are a common part of life, whether they pull us away from everyday tasks or more significant spiritual pursuits.

Today, Dr. Evans highlights how our love for God, though often interrupted by

sin, limitations, and circumstances can grow stronger as we grasp the profound significance of

Jesus' resurrection. Let's join him as he begins. The Gospel of John was written so that men might

believe in Jesus Christ and by believing have life in

his name. So the book of John was written for eternal life. Eternal life is not merely the length

of time you live. Eternal life involves the growing knowledge of God. So God gives us eternal life

to give us the experience of coming to know him. In eternity, it will be the uninterrupted

knowledge of God. We ended last time with the greatest miracle of them all, and that is the resurrection

of Jesus Christ from the dead. So it's now Sunday evening, verse 19. First day of the week,

very interesting. When the doors were shut, where the disciples were

for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, peace be with you.

Okay, did you get that? I don't know. I hope you didn't miss that. Jesus stood in the midst of them

when the doors were shut.

When he had said this, he breathed on them and said that them received the Holy Spirit.

This was an anticipation, a prophetic anticipation of what was going to happen on the day of Pentecost, and he prepares them, he preps them, if you will, to receive the Holy Spirit,

the third member of the Trinity, who would carry on the work of Christ in Christ's physical absence.

With this work of the Spirit would come spiritual authority.
