John 16:7. Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away:
"It is not merely for my own glory that I am going away, but my absence from you will be better for you than my continued bodily presence with you could possibly be."
John 16:7. For if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
"And he will be of more service to you than I could be even if I were to remain with you." The presence of the Spirit of God in the Church is better for the present dispensation than even the bodily presence of Christ would be.
