The Spirit of Jesus Christ
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bible Verses ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Phil. 1:19 For I know that for me this will turn out to
salvation through your petition and the bountiful supply of
the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
John 7:39 But this He said concerning the Spirit, whom those
who believed into Him were about to receive; for the Spirit
was not yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Words of Ministry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Spirit of Jesus Christ is "the Spirit" as mentioned in
John 7:39. This is not merely the Spirit of God before the
Lord's incarnation, but the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit
with divinity, after the Lord's resurrection, compounded with
the Lord's incarnation (humanity), human living under the
cross, crucifixion, and resurrection. The holy anointing
ointment in Exodus 30:23-25, a compound of olive oil with
four kinds of spices, was a full type of this compound Spirit
of God, who is now the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Here it is not
the Spirit of Jesus as in Acts 16:7 (Gk.), nor the Spirit of
Christ as in Romans 8:9, but the Spirit of Jesus Christ. The
Spirit of Jesus is mainly for the Lord's humanity and human
living; the Spirit of Christ is mainly for the Lord's
resurrection.
To experience the Lord's humanity, as illustrated in
Philippians 2:5-8, we need the Spirit of Jesus. To experience
the power of the Lord's resurrection, as mentioned in 3:10,
we need the Spirit of Christ. In his suffering, Paul
experienced both the Lord's suffering in His humanity and the
Lord's resurrection. Hence, the Spirit to him was the Spirit
of Jesus Christ, the compound, all-inclusive, life-giving
Spirit of the Triune God. Such a Spirit has, and even is, the
bountiful supply for a person like Paul, who was experiencing
and enjoying Christ in His human living and resurrection.
Eventually, this compound Spirit of Jesus Christ becomes the
seven Spirits of God, who are the seven lamps of fire before
His throne to carry out His administration on earth for the
accomplishment of His economy with the church, and who are
the seven eyes of the Lamb for the transfusing of all that He
is into the church (Rev. 1:4; 4:5; 5:6).
