last Adam" in the flesh, through the process of death and resurrection, He "became a life-giving Spirit" (1 Cor. 15:45). As He is the embodiment of the Father, so the Spirit is the realization, the reality, of Him. It is as the Spirit that He was breathed into the disciples. It is as the Spirit that He was received into His believers and flowed out of them as "rivers of living water" (John 7:38-39). It is as the Spirit that through His death and resurrection He came back to the disciples, entered into them as their Com forter, and began to abide in them (14:16-17). It is as the Spirit that He can live in the disciples and they can live by and with Him (14:19). It is as the Spirit that He can abide in the disci ples and they can abide in Him (14:20; 15:4-5). It is as the Spirit that He can come with the Fa ther to His lover and "make an abode with him" (14:23). It is as the Spirit that He can make all that He is and has to be fully realized by the dis ciples (16:13-16). It is as the Spirit that He came to meet with His "brothers" as "the church" to declare the Father's name to them and to praise Him in their midst (Heb. 2:11-12). It is as the Spirit that He can send His disciples with His commission, with Himself as life and everything to them, in the same way that the Father sent

Him (John 20:21). Hence, the disciples are qual ified to represent Him with His authority in the fellowship of His Body (20:23).
