We accept that the Spirit of truth has never worked more powerfully than through the apostle Paul. "I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified" (1 Corinthians 2:2). The Spirit taught him that the things that were to come actually came in those dreadful hours after Jesus had spoken these words to His disciples. And they came never to come again. The Holy Spirit lays great stress on the completed work of salvation. Salvation is a finished work.

The Spirit of truth is not occupied with sensations but with the glad tidings of Christ's sacrifice. The consequence of those things which came upon Him have not yet been realised in their fullness. That is what we still look forward to. "Then cometh the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father, when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power" (1 Corinthians 15:24). Since the Spirit of truth always concentrates attention on our suffering and crucified Lord and Saviour, He always makes known to us what has not yet come, but what will soon come as the fruit of that finished work. Christ alone is the subject of the Spirit of truth, the One who was and who is and who is coming. Christ as the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end.
