A person with spirit is lively and energetic. Athletes are said to be spirited. By that we mean Mr. Jackson knows basketball and loves basketball. The things of the spirit are, therefore, the things of the mind and the heart combined. The things of the spirit engage and unite both the intellectual and the emotional side of us, our emotional feelings as well as our intellectual concepts.
Soul music is of the spirit.
Religion, worship, prayer, and our relational lives with others comprise our spirituality. Taking all that I have just described to you into account, we can now glimpse into what Jesus is all about. Jesus of Nazareth was anointed by God in the Spirit to become the Christ of glory. And not only to bring God's inner life to us, but to make it a part of us, to infuse His Spirit into our all too human nature in order that we might be Christened, made like Jesus Christ in His mind and in His heart. The world thinks of the Church as a political and social institution constructed by human beings in order to politically impose its values on others.
