Commentary on John 7:39
(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) John's parenthetical explanation clarifies that living water symbolizes the Holy Spirit. Believers would receive the Spirit after Jesus's glorification (death, resurrection, ascension). The phrase 'Holy Ghost was not yet given' doesn't mean the Spirit didn't exist, but that Pentecostal outpouring awaited Christ's completed work. Reformed theology emphasizes the ordo salutis—Christ's work precedes Spirit's application of redemption.
