FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
CHRIST PROMISED THE HOLY SPIRIT: WHAT FOR?
“I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever: even the Spirit of truth.”
John 14: 16,17, A.V.
“Before offering Himself as the sacrificial victim, Christ sought for the MOST ESSENTIAL AND COMPLETE GIFT to bestow upon His followers, a gift that would bring within their reach THE BOUNDLESS RESOURCES OF GRACE.[John 14:16-18 quoted].
“Before this the Spirit had been in the world; from the very beginning of the work of redemption He has been moving upon men’s hearts. But while Christ [the incarnated Creator] was in earth, the disciples desired no other Helper. Not until they were deprived of His presence would they feel their need of the Spirit, and then He would come.
