Dr. Craig Troxel, Robert G. den Dulk Professor of Practical Theology at Westminster Seminary California, examines John 16:4-7 and the Nicene Creed's doctrine that the Holy Spirit proceeds from both the Father and the Son.
In this devotion, Dr. Troxel addresses Jesus's teaching that His departure would be advantageous for the disciples. Dr. Troxel explains that Christ's ascension was necessary for the Holy Spirit to come—the two events are inseparably connected. The Spirit is both the proof and prize of Christ's completed messianic work, and it is the ascended Christ who sends the Spirit to His church at Pentecost. This demonstrates the creedal truth that the Spirit proceeds not only from the Father but also from the Son.
