For the Spirit Was not Yet, Because Jesus Had not Yet Been Glorified

Let's Pray:
Lord, we extol You as the glorified One. We appreciate and treasure Your being glorified. Hallelujah, our Christ is the glorified Christ! Lord, give us a heart to seek after You.

Hymn: 1113

Today's Verses and Footnotes: John 7:25-52

Key Verse: John 7:39

But this He said concerning the Spirit, whom those who believed into Him were about to receive; for the Spirit was not yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

Jesus was glorified when He was resurrected (Luke 24:26). After Jesus' resurrection, the Spirit of God became the Spirit of the incarnated, crucified, and resurrected Jesus Christ, who was ( ) into the disciples by Christ in the evening of the day on which He was resurrected (John 20:22). The Spirit is now the "another ( )," the Spirit of ( ) promised by Christ before His death.(See John 7:39 note 1)
