Andrew Murray emphasizes the necessity of Christ's departure for the coming of the Holy Spirit, who glorifies Christ in the hearts of believers. He explains that the glorification of Christ occurs both in heaven by the Father and on earth by the Spirit, revealing Christ's hidden excellence and worth. Murray encourages believers to move beyond knowing Christ in the flesh to experiencing His glory through the Spirit's indwelling. He highlights that true glorification requires surrendering the old ways of knowing Christ and embracing the Spirit's transformative power. Ultimately, the Spirit's work leads to a deeper, more intimate relationship with the glorified Christ, filling believers with His glory.

Theodore Epp emphasizes that the indwelling Christ empowered Paul to remain untroubled and focused on glorifying Christ even in the face of imprisonment and potential death. Epp encourages believers to recognize that the same Christ who enabled Paul also dwells within them, providing the desire and boldness to honor Him in their lives. Paul’s unwavering commitment to magnifying Christ, whether in life or death, serves as a model for Christians today to evaluate their own actions and motivations. The sermon highlights the importance of living a life centered on Christ, as Paul declared, 'For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.' Ultimately, Epp calls for self-reflection on whether our pursuits truly glorify Christ or serve our own interests.

F.B. Meyer emphasizes that to receive the power of the Holy Ghost, one must first accept the Holy Ghost as a person and live a holy life. He stresses the necessity of being cleansed and maintaining a pure vessel for the Spirit to work through. Meyer also highlights that living for the glory of Christ should be the ultimate goal, as the Holy Spirit's role is to glorify Jesus. Furthermore, he insists that preaching and teaching must align with the Word of God, warning against the dangers of prioritizing experience over Scripture.

H.C.G. Moule emphasizes that the central focus of St. Paul's life was the glorification of Jesus Christ, transcending personal ambitions and even the Church itself. For Paul, the desire to magnify Christ was not just a thought but an all-consuming passion that shaped his every action, whether in life or death. This magnification of Christ is not about making Him greater, as He is already supreme, but about revealing His glory to others through our lives. Moule encourages believers to seek this same ambition, to allow Christ to shine through them, while remaining vigilant against self-seeking motives. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a life dedicated to showcasing the love and glory of Christ in all circumstances.

J.B. Rowell emphasizes the vital role of the Holy Spirit as the Divine Teacher who reveals and glorifies Jesus Christ, urging believers to rely on the Spirit for understanding and preaching the Word of God. He warns against false teachings that distort the truth about Christ and highlights the necessity of the Holy Spirit's illumination for true comprehension of Scripture. Rowell encourages believers to yield to the Holy Spirit's power, asserting that without Him, one cannot effectively reach others for Christ. He calls for a passionate commitment to glorifying Christ in every aspect of life, reminding the audience of their eternal purpose in God's plan. The sermon concludes with a heartfelt prayer for the young people to embrace their calling and be filled with the Holy Spirit's love and power.
