SUMMARY

Since his Ascension, when he returned to his Heavenly life, Jesus is not only with us, always and everywhere, but also within those who have been baptised, living his life in them in the world today, wherever they are and whatever their occupation may be.  That is to say, we are Members of Christ, and people ought to be able to recognise him in us.
