I. The Joint Mission of the Son and the Spirit
The notion of anointing
suggests . . . that there is no distance between the Son and the Spirit.
Indeed, just as between the surface of the body and the anointing with oil
neither reason nor sensation recognizes any intermediary, so the contact of the
Son with the Spirit is immediate, so that anyone who would make contact with
the Son by faith must first encounter the oil by contact. In fact there is no
part that is not covered by the Holy Spirit. That is why the confession of the
Son’s Lordship is made in the Holy Spirit by those who receive him, the Spirit
coming from all sides to those who approach the Son in faith.15
