The Body of Christ



Some humans are too spiritual to recognize their body. But Christ is not too spiritual to appreciate his body- the Church. The Church is the body of Christ. And we are the church, the members of the body of Christ. Christ is the head of that body. Every part of the body is important. This is an important statement. Our understanding of the body is important to get the exact picture of what God is talking about. This is not about denomination,or congregation. This is the whole body of Christ. There’s a spiritual sense of connection and oneness of every member of that body, physical location notwithstanding. If you are a member of that body, no matter how small you are, you are important to us, you are important to God. We need you. God needs you. If you are a member of this body, the nutrients and blessings that flow from the head reach every part of the body. The same blood and oxygen circulates throughout everyone of us. There are over 100 trillion cells in the human body. As many as they are, they all function together as one unit. They organize themselves into tissues, organs, and organ systems. Though each cell is an independent unit that has life of its own, they work together as one unit to achieve a common goal. Each cell’s function contributes to the common goal. As members of the body of Christ, we enjoy the same immunity, nutrition, communication, support, protection, abilities, strength, health, and so on. Christ is the head of that body. We have important structures in the head; eyes for vision, ears for hearing, nose for smelling, mouth for eating, tongue for speaking, and very importantly, the brain for thinking and processing information. If there’s no error in Christ, there’s no error in me. If there’s no confusion in Christ, there’s no confusion in me. I have the mind of Christ. I have the wisdom of Christ. For as many that are members of this body, we have unlimited possibilities and blessings in Christ. Congratulations! #MuchBlessings
