As you reflect on Christ as the Head and the church as the body, what insights come to mind?
-
I think of my own body and how when something as small and meaningless as my pinky toe hurting, my whole body suffers. Not only does each body part account for a large amount of function but it has its own specific role to play to fulfill its purpose for day to day efficiency. When we are growing closer and unifying the body under Jesus leadership and plan, the parts of the body are learning their exact purpose and how to better fulfill the role they are needed for the body to accomplish its Goals.
-
The head is the operation system for the body. The Brain is the source of all movement and functions of the Body. The church needs to be receptive to Jesus in the same way the body responds to the head.
-
The body is supposed to naturally respond to the leading of the brain, therefore, the church should always act in accordance to the will of Christ.
-
We should only get our leading and direction, as the church, from Christ and His Word.
-
I think of how God gives direction just like the brain directs the body. And when that happens, multiple parts of the body work in unison. When we are let by Christ, the Body of Christ can move forward in unity.
