The Holy Spirit presenting Christ to us—for our highest and deepest enjoyment.
The Spirit of God always seeks to present Christ more attractively to us, and to enable our hearts to be engaged with Him as the very One to suit us at every hour. If in joy, He helps us in our joy; if in sorrow, He sympathizes with us. Then the heart is drawn out more adoringly and absolutely to Christ Himself as the only One who in every way satisfies it.
The Lord when on the earth was a very beautiful object, and no one saw beauty in Him. Now the Spirit of God not only shows us beauty in Him, but also gives us a capacity to appreciate and enjoy Him as the real and sufficient object of our hearts.
The heart, delighted by an object that supremely satisfies it, is in the very highest and deepest enjoyment. That object is Christ. The ministry of the Spirit of God is to present Him to us, and to enable us to see who He is. This joy is unspeakable and full of glory.
