The Glory of Our Spirit Anointed Messiah

Jesus is the Spirit Anointed Messiah of Israel. John's theme is that Jesus is the One who surpasses him, one Essence with the Father. But John says - I did not know the magnitude of His Person and His Work. But the Father revealed these things to me. The word of the Lord came to him. The same is true for you and me as well. The Holy Spirit must illuminate our minds and our hearts to the truth concerning Christ and our need of Him.
