Rom.8:9 |
But you are
not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if indeed the
Spirit of God dwells in you. Yet if anyone does not have
the Spirit of Christ, he is not of Him. |
|
Php.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 |
The Spirit of
Christ mainly refers to the Spirit of the Lord resurrected as
the divine Person with the uplifted humanity who dwells in our
spirit as our life. The Spirit of Jesus Christ indicates that
the Spirit today is the all-inclusive Spirit of the Lord as God
and as man, including His divinity, His humanity, His human
living, His crucifixion, His resurrection, and His ascension
with all His divine attributes, human virtues, and attainments
in His achievements. Hence, this all-inclusive Spirit has
"the bountiful supply".
Literally, the
Greek word for "the bountiful supply" refers to the supplying of
all the needs of the chorus by someone known as the choragus,
the leader or director of the chorus. The choragus supplied all
the needs of everyone in the chorus, the needs for food,
clothing, lodging, and musical instruments.
The supply of the choragus truly was bountiful, even
all-inclusive.
Even more,
regardless of what situation we are in and what need we may
have, this all-inclusive Spirit, the Spirit of Jesus Christ, can
render the proper supply to meet our need.
While the
Apostle Paul wrote Philippians 1:19, he was suffering
imprisonment. Under that kind of situation, he experienced the
bountiful supply of the all-inclusive Spirit of the suffering
Jesus and the resurrected Christ.
