Fill me Up

Many people think Jesus’ final words of instruction to His disciples are found in the final two verses of the book of Matthew, when He said, Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations ... teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you (

However, these words were not the last Jesus spoke to His disciples.

His final word of instruction to His followers was not go.

It was wait.

However, these words were not the last Jesus spoke to His disciples.

His final word of instruction to His followers was not go.

It was wait.

We find this command recorded in the final chapter of Luke and again in : And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, which,’ He said, you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now (

Acts 1:4-5 Nueva Versión Internacional (NVI)

Nueva Versión Internacional (NVI)

4 Una vez, mientras comía con ellos, les ordenó:

—No se alejen de Jerusalén, sino esperen la promesa del Padre, de la cual les he hablado:5 Juan bautizó con[a] agua, pero dentro de pocos días ustedes serán bautizados con el Espíritu Santo.

Jesus final instruction was to wait.

Wait for what?

The promise.

What promise?

The baptism in the Holy Spirit.

Jesus told His disciples to wait before they go change the world.

He knew if they went without the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, nothing would happen.

He was telling them, Don’t try to do anything Ive instructed and called you to do until you’ve received this additional baptism.

If you’ve been born again, the Holy Spirit baptized you into Jesus at the moment you were saved.

But let me ask you: Have you asked Jesus to baptize you in the Holy Spirit?

Ephesians 5:18 Nueva Versión Internacional (NVI)

Nueva Versión Internacional (NVI)

18 No se emborrachen con vino, que lleva al desenfreno.

Al contrario, sean llenos del Espíritu.

1. the Holy Spirit baptizes us in JEsus.

You probably already know about this baptism, but you might know it by a different name: salvation.

1 says, For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free.

says, For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free.

2. 1 Corintios 12:13 Nueva Versión Internacional (NVI)

13 Todos fuimos bautizados por[a]un solo Espíritu para constituir un solo cuerpo —ya seamos judíos o gentiles, esclavos o libres—, y a todos se nos dio a beber de un mismo Espíritu.

Who is doing the baptizing in this verse?

The Holy Spirit.

When you and I experienced salvation, we were both baptized into the same body—the body of Christ.

The Holy Spirit is the agent who did the baptizing.

This is the baptism of the Holy Spirit, but it’s not the baptism in the Holy Spirit.

2. Water baptism.

If we are obedient to the commands of Scripture, we choose to experience a second baptism, this one in water.

This type of baptism is what Jesus had in mind when He said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (

).

This baptism symbolizes our new life in Christ.

4. Mateo 3:11 Nueva Versión Internacional (NVI)

5. 11 »Yo los bautizo a ustedes con[a] agua para que se arrepientan.

Pero el que viene después de mí es más poderoso que yo, y ni siquiera merezco llevarle las sandalias.

Él los bautizará con el Espíritu Santo y con fuego.

Scripture clearly shows us Jesus is the one who performs this baptism, immersing us in the Holy Spirit.

(inmersión, remojarse, sumergir)

This promise of the baptism in the Holy Spirit came powerfully to the disciples in .

Peter delivers a sermon immediately after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost.

In response to Peter’s preaching, a number of his Jewish listeners fall under the conviction of the Holy Spirit.

Hechos 2:37 Nueva Versión Internacional (NVI)

37 Cuando oyeron esto, todos se sintieron profundamente conmovidos y les dijeron a Pedro y a los otros apóstoles:

—Hermanos, ¿qué debemos hacer?

“What shall we do?” That’s a pretty broad question.

How does Peter respond?

“Then Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call’” (vv.

38-39).

Acts 2:38-39 Nueva Versión Internacional (NVI)

Nueva Versión Internacional (NVI)

38 —Arrepiéntase y bautícese cada uno de ustedes en el nombre de Jesucristo para perdón de sus pecados —les contestó Pedro—, y recibirán el don del Espíritu Santo.

39 En efecto, la promesa es para ustedes, para sus hijos y para todos los extranjeros,[a] es decir, para todos aquellos a quienes el Señor nuestro Dios quiera llamar.

Notice that in the active verbs in these verses, Peter outlines three baptisms.

He says:

1. Repent.

This is the vital primary step in the baptism of salvation.

2. Be baptized.

Peter urges his listeners to follow Jesus’ example by submitting themselves to water baptism.

3. Receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

This is the third baptism.

As Peter indicates here, the Holy Spirit will not force Himself upon anyone.

He must be received.

From here on out, the third baptism continually follows the first two as an essential, critical part of the Christian life.

For example, in we find the evangelist Philip preaching and teaching in Samaria.

After a revival breaks out, many people are healed, delivered from demonic oppression and saved.

Then, verse 12 tells us, “But when they believed Philip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized.”

Acts 8:12 Nueva Versión Internacional (NVI)

Nueva Versión Internacional (NVI)

12 Pero, cuando creyeron a Felipe, que les anunciaba las buenas nuevas del reino de Dios y el nombre de Jesucristo, tanto hombres como mujeres se bautizaron.

Two of the three baptisms are found in this verse.

“They believed” means the people received the baptism of salvation.

Then they were baptized in water—that’s two.

What about the third baptism—immersion in the Holy Spirit?

Let’s keep reading:

acts 8:14-16 Nueva Versión Internacional (NVI)

Nueva Versión Internacional (NVI)

14 Cuando los apóstoles que estaban en Jerusalén se enteraron de que los samaritanos habían aceptado la palabra de Dios, les enviaron a Pedro y a Juan.
