How does the Holy Spirit reveal Jesus Christ? A.W. Tozer's text is John 3:27 (KJV): "A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven."

A.W. Tozer Sermon Breakdown Pt 2 (Tozer's Ten Sermons on the Holy Spirit), hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Matt reads and discusses Tozer's sermon "How Christ Is Revealed by the Holy Spirit, Not Through the Intellect," chapter 2 of his ten sermons on the Holy Spirit. Tozer's outline: the blunder of orthodoxy in assuming spiritual truths can be intellectually perceived; the error that Bible study of itself can remove the veil; the error that we can talk each other up and put spiritual things down on the level of man's understanding; and the result, "two Christs": the Christ of history and the creeds, and the Christ only the Spirit can reveal.

Along the way: the natural man cannot receive the things of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:14), God's thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9), the Spirit of truth glorifies Christ (John 16:12-14), all Scripture is given by inspiration (2 Timothy 3:16), intuition and inward illumination, why philosophy and science cannot prove divine things, "It is the Holy Spirit or darkness," the anointing that teaches you (1 John 2:27), and Tozer's promise that when the Spirit comes He does not throw out true learning; He sets it on fire.
