For a number of years now the work of the Holy Spirit has been a favoured topic in evangelical circles, but it is striking to anyone familiar with the great evangelical preachers and authors of the past how parochial this current interest in the Spirit actually is.
     The Spirit's delight in using the preaching of frail men, his work of exposing the sin of the human heart and his pouring into hearts wounded by sin's conviction the balm of the gospel - these are themes not often discussed in the current craze for 'signs and wonders'. But as this sermon on John 16:8 makes clear, these are the genuine marks of the Spirit's work that all believers should long to see in the church.
     Robert Murray M'Cheyne, the preacher behind the sermon, experienced first-hand what it was like when the Holy Spirit displayed these signs of his presence. Despite the fact that he died before he was thirty, he knew authentic revival when such signs were manifest in abundance.
     To all who long to see the Spirit's laying bare of the human soul through the preaching of the Word and his bringing to pass deep contrition for sins and unbounded joy in the light of Christ's work on the cross, this sermon is essential reading.
