"The Spirit was not yet... because Jesus was not yet glorified". It is all bound up with and related to Jesus being glorified. This is the key to everything; this explains the whole doctrine of the Holy Spirit and of the work of the Spirit. The Lord's people are called to be, in the deepest and truest things of their life, a supernatural people not bound by their human limitation. The anointing of the Spirit is given to lift on to a divine plain, so that the Lord's people are here as an expression of what is true of God. It is a miracle, it is supernatural; it is that which brings into view Jesus glorified - the Spirit given.
