The Purpose Of The Many-Membered Body Of Christ In The World

Date: 22 January 2023

Jesus said: As the Father has sent Me, so I am sending you. He was the Word that became flesh (incarnate) and moved into the neighbourhood. That means that our mission is to be living epistles in the world! Unfortunately – in the age of the church – we have seen how the Body of Christ has divided into thousands of denominations and independent churches. The time has come for the Body of Christ, in its variety of expressions, to discover that we are part of the ONE Body of Christ. As the physical body of man is one and yet has many members, though they are many, are ONE body, so also is Christ. Christ is a MANY-MEMBERED Body! Therefore, let us stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own ASSEMBLING (bone coming to bone – Ezekiel 37) TOGETHER, as has been the habit of too many for too long! Christ is NOT divided! The world is waiting to see true oneness expressed in the Body of Christ. Jesus is praying for us (John 17:21)!
