In the Book of Numbers, we read of how God took some of the spirit that was on Moses and bestowed it to 70 of the elders (Nm 11:26). Foreshadowed in this scene is the reality that the Holy Spirit that came upon Jesus at the Jordan, would be bestowed upon His body, the Church. We consider both life in the Holy Spirit and the gift of charisms that God gives with the outpouring of the Spirit.
