But ye shall receive power, after that
the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in
Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the
earth. Acts 1:8
"The Holy Spirit is Christ's representative,
but divested of the personality of humanity, and independent thereof. Cumbered
with humanity, Christ could not be in every place personally. Therefore it was
for their interest that He should go to the Father, and send the Spirit to be
His successor on earth." Desire of Ages p.669 E.G.W.
