hath not flesh and bones; see John 20:
l4-27, also Luke "A: 37-i3. Here notice
that Jesus assembled, and that Angels
make the promise that ale shall in like
manner come again to earth" Here
please bear IN mind that tbs is His last
ascension. That he will a. s>me future
time descend as He was taken up; see
Acts l: Ill.
Now how can he, having body and
spirit, fulfill His promise, e, where
two or three are gathered together there
am in tire midst Of them,' only by
acting through his agent the Holy
Ghost. Here Please read John IS: 1914
and we will see that this is how the
Savior will be in their midst In John
l4:l7-l7 we also see how .he Father or
he son can dwell III us, that it must be
by the Holy Ghost
We now come to the question, John
4 j: "a, I'd is n spirit" This is a plain
statement, and the remainder OF the
paragraph is equa ly plain, land they
hat worship Him must worship Him
IN SPIRIT and in truth" Can it be
possible that we must not worship Him
until we are rid of our body? We must
worship Him in spirit; if we admit the
first to mean spirit only what right have
we to say the latter means spirit and
body? BY this We are doing wrong; +
we worship while we have body
O, mol this is not right. He is spirit
and he is body, and SO are We. lie
visits us by His. spirit, and We mnst
I worship Him through the HJiy spirit rs
mo man knoweth the things OF God tut
by the spirit OF ,iod )" see Cor 2 IT.
We have already given you p.eoi OF
His being body. Let us examine Jere
- "a, DO not. fill heaven ana ear b
saith the Lord" Jesus could not meet
with every two or three that came TO
many or how far apart they might be
for you will notice the promile IL
general. We have shown that lie does
