Ephesians 5:23
Verse Concepts
For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the church.
1 Corinthians 12:27
Now you are Christ’s body, and individually members of it.
I just now had an epiphany. Why does Christ consider the church his body. Now it seems so obvious. Our bodies perform the will of our head. What our brain and mind tell it to do it does. We have many different parts of the body but they function with one purpose to fulfill the commands of our mind.
The body of Christ is many parts working together to fulfill the will of the head which is Christ.
Why then are so many hurts coming out of churches? Why is the general population of churches falling?
Many would say that is it because the new generation lack discipline or interest. Although this may be true, if people felt love and belonging in church they would have interest and would not need discipline. Recieving and giving love needs no discipline.
Above all, the body of Christ would expect to have Supreme kindness from and for each other after all the Head gave his pain, life and his love for us, the world.
Many people have been hurt by churches…church people. But Christ doesn’t give us on us. He keeps loving us and healing us every day. He heals completely every kind of hurt. This doesn’t mean that we must stay in a hostile church environment. Like our bodies, different groups of the body of Christ perform different functions. I believe there is a group out there for each follower of Christ that will be accepting and loving and can receive their love. All of us believers are the body of Christ and set out to fulfill His will.
