Exo 20:9  Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 
Exo 20:10  But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

1Co 6:19  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

Psa 111:4 He hath made HIS WONDERFUL WORKS TO BE REMEMBERED: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

It was Christ’s desire to leave to his disciples an ordinance that would do for them the very thing they needed,—that would serve to disentangle them from the rites and ceremonies which they had hitherto engaged in as essential, and which the reception of the gospel made no longer of any force. To continue these rites would be an insult to Jehovah. Eating of the body, and drinking of the blood, of Christ, not merely at the sacramental service, but daily partaking of the bread of life to satisfy the soul’s hunger, would be in receiving his word and doing his will. { RH June 14, 1898, par. 16 }

1Co 10:31  Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 

Act 20:6 And we sailed away from Philippi after THE DAYS OF UNLEAVENED BREAD, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.
At Philippi Paul tarried TO KEEP THE PASSOVER. Only Luke remained with him, the other members of the company passing on to Troas to await him there. The Philippians were the most loving and truehearted of the apostle’s converts, and during THE EIGHT DAY OF THE FEAST he enjoyed peaceful and happy communion with them. {AA 390.4}

Exo 20:11  For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 

1Jn 4:9  In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 

1Jn 4:8  He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

The Father and the Son alone are to be exalted. {YI July 7, 1898, par. 2}

Cumbered with humanity, Christ could not be in every place personally; therefore it was altogether for their advantage that He should leave them, go to His father, and send the Holy Spirit to be His successor on earth. The Holy Spirit is Himself divested of the personality of humanity and independent thereof. He would represent Himself as present in all places by His Holy Spirit, as the Omnipresent. “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall (although unseen by you), [This phrase was added by Ellen White.] teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you” [John 14:26]. “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will come not unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you” [John 16:7]. {14MR 23.3}

Joh 14:18  I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 

Joh 14:16, 18 And I will pray the Father, and he SHALL GIVE YOU ANOTHER COMFORTER, that he may abide with you for ever; I will not leave you comfortless: I WILL COME e to you.

THE HOLY SPIRIT is HIMSELF divested of the personality of humanity and independent thereof. HE WOULD REPRESENT HIMSELF as present in all places BY HIS HOLY SPIRIT, as THE OMNIPRESENT. “But THE COMFORTER, which is THE HOLY GHOST, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall (although unseen by you), [This phrase was added by Ellen White.] teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you” [John 14:26]. “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will come not unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you” [John 16:7]. {14MR 23.3 }

Joh 14:16  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

Joh 14:18  I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

Joh 14:17  Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 

Eph 2:8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 
Eph 2:9  Not of works, lest any man should boast. 
Eph 2:10  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. 

Joh 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 
Joh 14:16  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 

The Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of the Father, is truly God in infinity, but not in personality. {UL 367.4}

Joh 14:16  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you ANOTHER COMFORTER, that he may abide with you for ever;
