Reason for sending the Holy Spirit

"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.
By the Spirit the Savior would be accessible to all."
Desire of Ages p.669 E.G.W.
 ....for if I go not away,
the Comforter will not come unto you;
but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
John 16:7
