You know this is not something we discuss very often on the Religion Forum, but I'd like to see that change because this awareness of being alive in Christ while yet in the flesh is breath-taking.
And it is a subtle and beautiful part of Christ's prayer for us in John 17, before He faced the Cross. Note the tense (emphasis mine):
Indeed.
And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we [are]. - John 17:11
Oh, A-G...may God bless you. :)
