“Jesus called them to be with him and to be sent” ( Mk3;13-15)
We can speak of an identity only in relation to Jesus Christ as we are called to act in the person of Jesus Christ. It is not filling a gap or substitution. In normal language, it is understood as delegating someone to represent when he is unable to be present. We cannot speak in the meaning of this normal language since Jesus Christ is never absent since he is present in His Spirit in the Church.
