• 0:10
  Speaker 1: on the Spirit's coming, Chapter five. Quotation from the Paraclet,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: page ninety six. The teaching of Jesus Christ respecting the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: ministry of the Holy Ghost is so peculiar as to
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: raise the inquiry where was the Holy Ghost during the
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: earthly ministry of the Son of Man? Where was the
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Spirit that had moved on the face of the waters
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: that had been poured out upon Israel? Was his ministry suspended?
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: It may be suggested that the fullness had not been
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: realized in the ancient Church, which is undoubtedly true. Yet,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: though true, it is insufficient to account for the treatment
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: of his descent as a new visitation and benediction of God.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: The answer would seem rather to be that the Holy
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Ghost was in Jesus Christ himself and could not be
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: given to the Church as a distinctly Christian gift until
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the first period of the incarnation had been consummated in
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the ascension of the Son of Man. In him dwelt
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. When the influence
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: of that Godhead was poured out upon the Church. It
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: came from the very heart of Christ and was impregnated
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: with all the elements which make up the mystery and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: beneficence of the incarnation. End of quotation, end of note Q.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: End of the Spirit of Christ by Andrew Murray, read
