His body

And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. – Ephesians 1.22-23

Jesus is the head – okay. We are His body – okay. We’ve seen that and we’ve heard that dozens of times, but what does it really mean? How does this apply to me on this Sundays the 8th of December 2019. We are in the early stages of this Christmas season. We celebrate Jesus’ coming to be the Head of the Body. We know He is in control, how do we be His body? We are called the fulness of Him. We show Jesus to the world.

How are we supposed to do that? There is a song that comes to mind when I hear that. I don’t remember the words exactly, but it asked question like ‘if we are the body why aren’t His feet going? Why aren’t His hands reaching? Why isn’t His heart loving? Why isn’t His mouth speaking?’

Jesus put us here as His body to do His work. It is up to us to do the physical going and giving and sharing and speaking. As His body we have the chance to reflect Him to the world in a real tangible way.

We are His body. He is the head. If our bodies disobey our head something is wrong – the same is true with the Body of Christ,
