Think of it this way. It is as if the Holy Spirit stands behind us, throwing light
over our shoulder on to Jesus who stands facing us. The Spirit’s message to us
is never, “Look at me; listen to me; come to me; get to know me,” but always,
“Look at him, and see his glory; listen to him and hear his word; go to him and
have life; get to know him and taste his gift of joy and peace.” The Spirit, we
might say, is the matchmaker, the celestial marriage broker, whose role it is to
bring us and Christ together and ensure that we stay together.
—J. I. Packer, KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THE SPIRT: FINDING FULLNESS IN OUR WALK WITH
GOD, 2nd Revised and Enlarged Edition. Grand Rapids: BakerBooks, 2005, p. 57.
