"The descent of the Spirit then must signify Jesus' anointing for ministry. His public ministry will now commence and God clothed Him with the Spirit to empower Him to carry out His task. The Spirit descended on Him as a dove".
Thomas R Schreiner - "New Testament Theology - Magnifying God in Christ" - Apollos, Nottingham (2008) - (p437).
"The man who never reads will never be read. He who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own ... You need to read" - C H Spurgeon. "To fail to learn from the pulpit of the past is to impoverish that of the present" - Tony Sargent
