On the Identity and Role of the Holy Spirit

John Stott on the Holy Spirit:

The Holy Spirit is the self effacingness of God.

He shuns publicity in favour of magnifying Christ.

His is a hidden floodlight ministry in relation to the Lord Christ. The floodlights are not seen — you are meant to see the building on which the lights are trained. He is the hidden floodlight shining on the Savior.

The Holy Spirit’s chief delight is to bear witness to Christ.
