| | The Spirit Glorifying Christ by John Murray
Topic: Holy Spirit | | Description: At Pentecost the Holy Spirit was given, to operate among all nations; the Spirit was sent when Christ ascended to heaven and prayed the Father; Christ had acted as a Comforter, and the Spirit is sent as a second Comforter; the ingenuity of the church's enemies is great, but the Spirit comes to plead for God's people; the words of the apostles are Christ's revelation to them by the Spirit, so that the apostolic writings are of equal authority with Christ's sayings; Christ accords divine dignity to Himself when He says that the focus of the Spirit's activity will be to glorify Christ; the Spirit is permanently given and we do not need a new Pentecost, but we should pray for the increased influence and more abundant activity of the Spirit in our lives; much of the barrenness in the church is because we have relied on men and failed to honor the resources of the Spirit; if Christ's glory has captivated our hearts, it is because the Spirit is glorifying Christ.
