“Above everything else, as fulfillment of the new covenant the Spirit marked the return of the lost presence of God.”

"…the Spirit is not some merely impersonal “force” or “influence” or “power”. The Spirit is none other than the fulfilment of the promise that God himself would once again be present with his people.”

“When Jesus ascended to heaven, he was not heading into retirement, He was taking his throne as King and inaugurating the future-present reality that heaven and earth have been joined under the Kingship of Jesus Christ the Son of God. And what’s more, because Jesus is fully God and fully man, He has become the location where the divine and human are joined, where heaven and earth are united, and he now exists permanently in both God’s space and humanity’s space at once.” -
