The Coming of the Spirit 6/20 Monday Meditation

I had this bookmarked to use around Easter and just found it. The Lamb of God left the realm of glory and came down here to be footsore, dusty, weary, and spit upon. He said, "I come to do thy will, O God" (Heb. 10:9). If He had not borne all these things, if He had not gone all the way to the cross, the Holy Spirit never could have come. If Jesus had been left in the tomb, the Holy Spirit never could have come. As soon as He arose from the dead and ascended into heaven, the Holy Spirit could come. -- Maria Woodworth-Etter
