CRYSTALLIZATION-STUDY
OF THE GOSPEL OF JOHN

MESSAGE EIGHT

THE CONSUMMATED SPIRIT

OUTLINE

1. Before the consummation of the Spirit, He was:
1. The Spirit of God in God's creation—Gen. 1:2.
2. The Spirit of Jehovah in God's contact with man—Judg. 6:34; Isa. 61:1.
3. The Spirit of holiness in God's dealing with man—Psa. 51:11; Isa. 63:10-11.
2. Through the processes which the Triune God has completed, the Spirit of God as the processed Triune God has been consummated into the all-inclusive, life-giving Spirit to be:
1. "The Spirit," who was not yet before the resurrection of Christ (John 7:39), compounded with Christ's divinity, humanity, death with its effectiveness, and resurrection with its power to be the compound anointing ointment—Exo. 30:23-25.
2. The consummated Spirit of the Triune God as the consummation of the Triune God.
3. The Spirit who has been consummated to be the consummation of the Triune God as the eternal Husband speaking with His bride, the Body of Christ, to be the eternal and universal couple—Rev. 22:17.
4. The Spirit of life—Rom. 8:2.
5. The Spirit of Christ, who is the Spirit of the Christ in resurrection—the pneumatic Christ—Rom. 8:9.
6. The indwelling Spirit, who dispenses the resurrection life to the believers' mortal body—Rom. 8:11.
7. The Spirit of Jesus is the Spirit of the incarnated Savior who, as Jesus in humanity, passed through human living and death on the cross. This indicates that in the Spirit of Jesus there is not only the divine element of God but also the human elements of His human living and His suffering of death—Acts 16:7.
8. The Spirit of Jesus Christ, who ministers the bountiful supply to the believers—Phil. 1:19b.
9. The seven Spirits before the throne of God—the sevenfold intensified Spirit—to meet the need of the believers in the degradation of the churches—Rev. 1:4; 4:5; 5:6.
3. The consummated Spirit as the consummation of the processed and consummated Triune God has been breathed into the believers in Christ—John 20:19-22:
1. As the Spirit of life, not the Spirit of power who is poured out in Acts 2.
2. By the resurrected Christ—the pneumatic Christ.
3. On the day of resurrection.
4. As a sign of being sent by Christ—John 20:21.
5. As a conclusion concerning God, who was mentioned at the beginning (1:1) of John's Gospel on life (see Message Seven, II.T., on the all-inclusive consummated Spirit).
