He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
He shall glorify me; for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you. Thus the whole design of the Spirit's office is to glorify Christ-not in His own Person, for this was done by the Father; when He exalted Him to His own right hand-but in the view and estimation of men. For this purpose He was to "receive of Christ" - that is, all that related to His Person and Work - "and show it unto them," or make them, by His inward teaching, to discern it in its own light. The internal or subjective nature of the Spirit's teaching-how His office is to discover to the souls of men what Christ is outwardly or objectively-is here very clearly expressed; and, at the same time, the vanity of looking for revelations of the Spirit which shall do anything beyond throwing light in the soul upon what Christ Himself is, and taught, and did upon earth.
