@@mosesemugera when you say eventual eternal rest, I agree but the Holy Spirit is the power for service while we are here on earth. But you shall receive power after that the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you shall be witnesses... God bless you
Very true sir, The verse before this, was a time when the Apostles were very curious at what shall become of them after Jesus goes to heaven.,you realise that at this moment they lacked rest, they were stressdd So the purpose of the Holy Spirit is to assure them and to take the place of Jesus for them. Thus reassuring them of the rest.
@@mosesemugera it's in two ways dear. You will have peace of mind and rest on all side. Secondly, you won't be able to rest, or be idle doing nothing for the Lord. He will set you on your feet at all time.
