Jesus said it was actually better for him to leave his original 12 disciples and for the Spirit to fill them because there was something that needed to CHANGE. When the Spirit came and moved among them, they were empowered to ‘practice the way of Jesus’ alongside one another, rather than just watching him. It’s just as true for you and me. You and I need to participate (not just associate) because you and I need one another in community.
