  • Of, through, in

    When the Father gives something, it comes of the Father. And when the Son gives you something, it comes through Jesus. But when the Spirit provides it is given in Him. Of, through, in – just three little words, but they are mighty and powerful. As you read God’s Word, the pattern is striking. When…
