Week 04
How Can I Experience Jesus Today?

Jesus isn’t physically walking the earth like He did 2,000 years ago—so how can we actually experience Him today?

Before Jesus left His disciples, He told them something surprising: “It is for your good that I am going away” (John 16:7). Jesus promised that He wouldn’t leave them as orphans. He would send the Holy Spirit—God’s personal presence with and in His people.

Through the Holy Spirit, the presence of Jesus is always available to us. The Spirit helps us hear and follow Jesus, reminding us of His words and leading us toward Him. And the Spirit works within us to form the life of Jesus in us, producing fruit like love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and self-control.

Following Jesus isn’t simply learning about someone who lived 2,000 years ago. It’s learning to live with God today—aware of and surrendered to the Spirit who has made His home with us.
