In this teaching the focus is on how Jesus taught and prepared his disciples to live and minister under the direction, influence, and empowerment of the Holy Spirit. With passion, he promises them that though he would be physically leaving them and they would see him in the flesh no more, yet he was no abandoning them. For just as the Father was in Christ, so now through the Holy Spirit, Christ would be living in us. And the kingdom of heaven is experienced by those who love him, hold fast to his word and receive his present reign within their lives through the work of the Holy Spirit.
