Just as in John 4:1-54, so here it is a question of power in the Holy Ghost, and not simply of Christ's person. And so, in fact, it was and is. If, on the contrary, a soul has been taught of God the glory of the person of Him who was made flesh, he receives in all simplicity, and rejoices in, the glorious truth, that He who was made flesh was not made flesh only to this end, but rather as a step toward another and deeper work the glorifying God, and becoming our food, in death.

John 1:20-25) John does not even speak of Him as one who, on His rejection as Messiah, would step into a larger glory. Even when it becomes 3:00, the belief doesn't fix itself. How was this? He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
