"While he was with them, what little effect his promises had on their hearts! But when the Spirit came, how full of joy did he make all things to them. He brings the promises of Christ to our minds and hearts to comfort us, to bring us the joy of them and that far beyond the joy the diciples found in them when Christ spoke to them on earth. THe gracious influences of the promises were then restrained so that eh dispensation of the Spirit might be seen to be more glorious that that of the giving of the law."
-John Owen, Communion With God, Pg. 178
