Dear James,
Christ did come will they were alive as the 3rd part of the triune nature of God the Holy Spirit. His physical appearance is yet to come. He himself said he had to leave them so the comforter could come. We can not totally understand the three aspects of ourselves much less God.
Dueter. 6
4: Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
5: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Mark 12
30: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
We have heart, soul, and strength (might) from Dueteronomy and heart, soul, mind and strength from Mark. I wonder why mind was added by Jesus? According to this we have 4 parts to us and they have been the source of much discussion.
