5. Brothers in the Spirit 
Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, when filled with the Holy Spirit, exalted the coming Messiah. "And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied saying, 'Blessed be the Lord God of Israel.'" (1) Zechariah at first did not accept the Lord's doing and was struck dumb for it. It was only after the baby was born that Zechariah could speak and his first words were that the child should be called John.
The Holy Spirit revealed to Simeon that he would not die without seeing the Christ. He was led to the Temple and lifting up the baby Jesus said those well known words "Lord, now let thy servant depart in peace..." "And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ." (2)
Holy Spirit at the Incarnation
Jesus was conceived in Mary by the Holy Spirit. "The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God." (3) Jesus is the child of the Holy Spirit. "This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit." (4)
Joseph is reassured by an angel that Mary's being pregnancy is in fact a work of God, the Holy Spirit. "But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, 'Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.'" (5)
Holy Spirit fills Christ
The Spirit directs Jesus' growth and fills him with wisdom. "And the child Jesus grew and became strong, filled with wisdom, and the favor of God was upon him." (6) Jesus obviously learned like any other child from his teachers. As he does, his wisdom which is more than education grew as well.
The Holy Spirit descended on Christ after his baptism. "And when Jesus was baptized, he went up immediately from the water... and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him..." (7) God sealed Christ's ministry at his baptism by the public display of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit like a dove. "For on him has God the Father set his seal." (8) The Holy Spirit empowered Jesus after his baptism and led him. "Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit." (9) The power of the Spirit of God caused Jesus to return to the Galilee area. "And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee." (10)
