We do not live on memories because they fade and become fragments of confused and blurred reality. Our tradition sometimes convinces us we have only a memory and no longer a living reality of an active Holy Spirit daily living in us. John said I baptize you with water but HE will baptize you with the Holy Ghost, this would be a distinguishing mark of the Messiah.  At the end of Jesus life he began to greatly emphasis the Holy Spirit as the comforter that would lead you into ALL TRUTH. After the resurrection Jesus appeared to the disciples and breathed on them and said now you receive the Holy Spirit; the one that endwelled him now endwells you.  Since you have received this supernatural empowerment of the Holy Spirit you GO and be a manifestation of me in all the world. These signs shall follow you that have been madeover with this miraculous power from on high, and you shall speak with new tongues. This in not just a prayer language, but a tongue of the learned that will speak a word in season to them that are weary. Now the memory of him (old man) has perished and the living endwelling Christ becomes a daily supernatural empowerment energizing the saints of the most high.

Jesus is no longer a figure on the pages of a history book or the memory of some personal mountain top experience but the Spirit of HIM in the baptized believer is a present day, minute by minute expression and display of the nature and personality of Jesus. This resurrection that was a happening at the tomb has now become a person resurrected in and through you supernaturally empowering you for this Miraculous Makeover.
