They were led and guided by the Spirit through Jesus. If they had not obeyed, think you it would have guided? If they had thought that they knew what to say, and would outline their program, they would have failed, as we of to-day so often do when we refuse to obey the Master who leads us.

And this was true. Their Illumination was given to them long before they had preached in every city, but it was after the Crucifixion that they were baptized with the Spirit or Fire, which is the Son of Man Sun of Man, for the Soul is the Sun of the body, and is indeed the Son or sun of man.
