The Holy Spirit opens up a clearer vision of our experience with Jesus, initiates a more focused vision of God’s Kingdom, and reveals a sharper edge of expectations for us and the Church. Therefore, the Holy Spirit calls us to a clear vision of Jesus for ourselves, a focused vision of God’s Kingdom and a vision of great expectation for the Church.
