The Holy Spirit has come, in person, on earth in the church; He is present in person; He is someone who can be grieved. He is present in two ways — in the individual and in the church: “Ye are the temple of God, and . . . the Spirit of God dwelleth in you” (1 Cor. 3:16). “Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost” (1 Cor. 6:19). He is, Himself, the gift of God, sent by the Son, sent by the Father. Therefore, while He is God, we do not find that prayer is addressed to Him: not that all praise be not due to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, but because He is always looked upon as on earth, as the Son was there, and He does not glorify Himself, but He glorifies the Father and the Son, and He is the source of all prayer and praise to the Father who gave Him and to the Son who is glorified.
