What about the Holy Spirit? When Peter preached the gospel to the
the other disciples back in Jerusalem also saw the resurrected Lord (see Luke 24.13-35). The Son of God has resurrected; He has transcended geography and time. So with respect to Him after His resurrection, there is no before or after time. He is not bound by any timetable. To Him nothing ever occurs three or five years later. The issues of time and space no longer exist. Today people throughout the entire earth may touch Him at the same time.
4. The power of resurrection is the supreme power. The greatest restriction on earth is death. There is nothing that is not under its control. Death is the limitation to all living beings. But in His resurrection, the Lord Jesus destroys the restriction of death. Though death is the greatest limitation, resurrection overcomes it. Resurrection, therefore, is the greatest power. If we touch the power of resurrection, we can easily cover all of China with the gospel of the kingdom.
Two—the Holy Spirit 1. Transmit the resurrected Lord. What about the Holy Spirit? When Peter preached the gospel to the Jews, he said: "Being therefore by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he [Christ Jesus] hath poured forth this, which ye see and hear" (Acts 2.33). Resurrection places the Lord at the right hand of God; and while He sits at the Father's right hand, He pours forth the Holy Spirit. Thus, the power of the Holy Spirit is also the power of resurrection. This is to say that in the Holy Spirit the Lord pours forth resurrection together with the power of His resurrection. Hence, whoever touches the Spirit touches resurrection. As soon as a person is in the Holy Spirit he touches the resurrected Lord. The Holy Spirit testifies to the resurrection of the Lord.
When our Lord was on earth some leaned upon His breast, some kissed Him, some thronged Him, some received things from His hand. He washed people's feet and touched their hands. During that time, though people were able to touch the Lord, their touch was far inferior to our touch today. For we are no longer restricted by time and space. Today, the risen Lord is in the Holy Spirit. What we thus see today far surpasses what they saw before. The Church is able to continue on for two thousand years due to the seeing of the Lord clearly within men. What we see outwardly may not be as clear as what those saw in the time of the record of the Gospels; yet inwardly our knowledge of the
