And as in the Old Testament the Spirit passed from man to man, so in the New Testament Christ first Himself receives and then communicates to all the whole Spirit.
"The Expositor's Bible: The Gospel of St. John, Vol. I"
Marcus Dods
God communicates himself to us in proportion as we are prepared to receive him.
"Letters of Madam Guyon"
P. L. Upham
Or rather, it is as a stream, which, being lost in a large river, follows the course of the river, communicating itself where the river communicates, watering where it waters, drawing into itself all the smaller rivers, which are destined alike to lose themselves in the great ocean of Love.
"Letters of Madam Guyon"
P. L. Upham
