I'm doing a lesson tomorrow on the God who wants us to call on Him (well, not using those exact words). One of the concepts I'm looking at is the role of the Holy Spirit in revealing the truth about Jesus to us. I found this great picture that can really help. It looks like a rather abstract landscape. But if you place a cylindrical mirror (i.e. roll of aluminium foil) on the well, a completely different image emerges.
There is no such thing as a perfect analogy, but the point I'm making is that without the Holy Spirit, Jesus' message and mission can seem confusing, strange and alien to us. But the Holy Spirit shows us who Jesus really is, convicts us of our need to turn back to God, and helps us to see the real picture.
I hope it helps tomorrow!
