Campbell Morgan emphasizes the role of the Holy Spirit during the mission of the Messiah, illustrating how the Spirit spoke through the prophets and prepared the way for Jesus. He highlights the significance of Jesus' baptism, where the Spirit descended upon Him, empowering Him for His ministry of preaching good news, healing, and liberation. Morgan notes that Jesus taught His disciples about the Holy Spirit, revealing God's willingness to give the Spirit to those who ask, yet they did not fully grasp this until after His resurrection. The sermon culminates in the understanding that the Spirit's work is essential for the continuation of Christ's mission through His followers. Ultimately, the Spirit, who was present in Jesus' life, is now available to empower believers for their own mission.
