Jesus the Holy Spirit in "Glorified" Flesh, the Comforter who came on Pentecost.
Scripture, John 14:16 "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
John 14:17 "Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 14:18 "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you".
the Lord Jesus said, "I will come to you", meaning his disciples. this is audience relevance. and the Lord Jesus said, that he, the Holy Spirit .... John 14:21 "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
John 14:22 "Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?.
notice this manifestation is not an "Apperance", but a MANIFESTATION in Spirit, this is important. after our Lord's death he "Appeared" to them in flesh and bones, (no blood). Luke 24:39 "Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have".
side note: all that nonesense that angels had sex with women is debunked here by out Lord. spirit, angels don't have flesh and bone, nor blood. so Genesis Chapter 6 is debunked by our Lord and Saviour.
but by appearing to his desciples, they know now that the resurrection is true. ok, good, but what about the thing Judas asked, scripture. John 14:22 "Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?". this is one of the most important question asked in the NT. the question "HOW" will you manifest?. notice "HOW" Jesus will manifest himself.
answer, Acts 2:1 "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
Acts 2:2 "And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Acts 2:3 "And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
Acts 2:4 "And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
this is how, for the "Speaking of tongue" is a manifestation of the Spirit. supportive scripture.
1 Corinthians 12:7 "But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. (There's that manifestation that Judas was speaking of in John 14).
1 Corinthians 12:8 "For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
1 Corinthians 12:9 "To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
1 Corinthians 12:10 "To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
1 Corinthians 12:11 "But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
on the day of Pentecost, the diciples was "Speaking in other tongues", which is a "MANIFESTATION" of the COMFORTER, the Holy Spirit.
this is the "MANIFESTATION" that Judas aske about. and the world did not see it, but the disciples did, in the gift.
here we have JESUS, who is the Holy Spirit "MANIFESTING" himself in a "Gift" just as he said. he manifested in the spiritual gifts of other tongue. for the Lord Jesus cannot lie, John 14:18 "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you". and he did in the Spiritual Gifts.
