We continue on with this picture of the body. ‘You are the body of Christ’ Paul writes. Jesus has gone back to heaven to prepare a place. He has left the Holy Spirit here with us, but we, the church, are His body placed here to be His hands and feet and His eyes and ears and legs and heart.
If indeed that is the case we may ask oursleves some questions from a popular Christian song on the same theme.
If we are the body why aren’t His arms reaching?
Why aren’t His hands healing?
Why aren’t his words teaching?
Why aren’t his feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
How are you and I performing as the body of Christ interacting with the world around us. Are we functioning as His body? He chose us to do His work and share His word with the world.
What am I doing today as part of His body?
