Confused about the "Wild Goose?"

Celtic Christians had a fascinating name for the Holy Spirit. It almost sounds sacrilegious at first earshot--the Wild Goose--but I'm not sure there's a better description. Being led by the Spirit is a wild goose chase. That is the essence of what Jesus said in John 3:8, "The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit." There is an "element of surprise" or "air of unpredictability" that is part and parcel of following Christ. Oswald Chambers said, "To be certain of God means that we are uncertain in all our ways, we do not know what a day may bring forth." In other words, we ought to expect the unexpected.

Scripture is full of wild goose chases. Hebrews 11:8 says, "By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going." Abraham didn't know where he was going or how to get there. It was a wild goose chase.

In Acts 10:20 Peter is praying on a rooftop and the Lord says, "Three men are downstairs. Do not hesitate to go with them." Peter has no idea where or why God wants him to go with them. It was a wild goose chase.

In Acts 8:26, an angel of the Lord tells Philip to "Go south." God doesn't tell him why he's going, where he's going, or what he's going to do when he gets there. He just tells Philip to head south! God was calling him into the unknown.
