The Diversity of the Spirit's Operations
1 Corinthians 12:5-6
And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.…


The witnessing of the Spirit admits of degrees. Just as a rich man's window may be wider than a poor man's, and so the sun may make his house the more light, that the things within it may be better discerned, yet the poor man may really enjoy the beams of the sun, and see what is in his house; so the poorest, the weakest believer may know the Spirit hath shined into his heart, as well as others that enjoy brighter beams than he hath been acquainted with.

(T. H. Leary, D.C.L.)
