Matthew 1: 18: Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
Matthew 27: 50: Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
Jesus was a triune being like any other man. He had a physical body, He had a spirit that gave life to His body, and He had a soul wherein dwelt the fulness of the Father (John 3: 34) Jesus was both fully man and fully God. In His body He was a man, but in His soul He was God. As a man living in this world, Jesus’ body was animated by the spirit of life which exists in the bloodstream of the body (Leviticus 17: 11), just as the body of an animal or any other human needs the spirit of life for it be alive. Jesus’ body was not born by sin and neither was it sinful, but it was made like unto sinful flesh so that He could experience everything that we endure in our lives.
It is only when the spirit of life leaves a body that a person dies. Jesus became sin for us when He hung on the cross with the sin of the world upon Him. The Father (the Holy Spirit) that dwelt within Jesus would no longer communicate with His Son, so that Jesus would cry out “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me (Matthew 27: 46)?” When the spirit of life left Jesus’ body (when He yielded up the ghost), that was when He died. It is not the Holy Spirit in the soul that makes a natural body alive, but it is the spirit of life in the bloodstream that makes a body live.
To further quantify this thought in order not to create confusion, we must understand that the Serpent had a place for a soul but did not have a soul whilst Cain on the other hand had a soul but had no place for the Holy Spirit in his soul. Both the Serpent (an animal), and Cain (a hybrid) lived because of the spirit of life in their bloodstream, but neither of them had the Holy Spirit. So when a person dies, the spirit of life leaves the body first, then the soul leaves the body shortly after. When Jesus died on the cross, the spirit of life left His body first and then the soul where the fulness of the Holy Spirit was left the body shortly after.
The subject of spirit is very vast and is largely misunderstood by many, however throughout the content of this website the subject will be explored in more detail as the content matter necessitates it, and the reader will gradually develop a greater insight into the layers and intricacies of what spirit is and how the spirit world actually works.
