John 16:7
It is expedient for you that I depart. What seemed then a crushing
sorrow was a real blessing. His mission could never be accomplished
unless he went away.
For if I go not away, the Comforter will not come. While Christ was
present in person, in bodily form, the Holy Spirit, the representative
of the Godhead, could not come. Christ, as King, must send him, and on
the day of Pentecost Peter declared, "He hath shed forth the things ye
do see and hear" (Acts 2:33).
