How Can Christ Be In Us?

 

Then I will ask the Father to send you the Holy Spirit who will comfort you and always be with you. The Spirit will show you what is true. The people of this world cannot accept the Spirit, because they don't see or know him. But you know the Spirit, who is with you and will keep on living in you. I won't leave you like orphans. I will come back to you. Then you will know that I am one with the Father. You will know that you are one with me, and I am one with you.

John 14:16-18, 20

=================================

WORDS OF MINISTRY:

How can Christ be in us? Christ is in us because of His resurrection. Because Jesus is resurrected and because He is now in the Holy Spirit, He can be in us… If Jesus were not resurrected and had only lived once on earth, He then would be Himself forever, while I could only be myself forever. There would be no way for us to receive Him. It would not matter how holy and lovely Jesus of Nazareth was; there would be no way for us to receive Him, because He would only be a man.

However He is not only a man today; He died and is resurrected. He is in the Holy Spirit; He has become the Lord whom we all can receive.The Holy Spirit is the Lord’s coming in another form. Another name for the Holy Spirit is “the Spirit of Jesus.” He is also called “the Spirit of Christ.” When Jesus put on the Holy Spirit, He became “receivable”.

If He had not become such a Lord, we would not be able to enjoy Him. When we receive the Holy Spirit, we receive Christ; in the same way, when we receive the Son, we receive the Father. Christ has been resurrected and He is in Holy Spirit. Therefore, we can receive Him into us to be in our life and to give us life.

So how can Christ be in us? Christ can be in us through the Holy Spirit.
