On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Thus still, though one generation of ministers and Christians depart, another is raised up in their room, for Christ will maintain his own cause. (2.) That the presence of Christ's Spirit in his church is so much better, and more desirable, than his bodily presence, that it was really expedient for us that he should go away, to send the Comforter.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Secondly, Christ's ascension is the great argument proper to convince men of this righteousness: I go to the Father, and, as an evidence of my welcome with him, you shall see me no more. If Christ had left any part of his undertaking unfinished, he had been sent back again; but now that we are sure he is at the right hand of God, we are sure of being justified through him.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more--Beyond doubt, it is Christ's personal righteousness which the Spirit was to bring home to the sinner's heart.
