In the opening verse, notice that the Apostle Paul
used the plural noun “bodies.” He was writing to the
Church at Corinth. If he had used the singular noun “body,” it
would have seemed right to argue that he was speaking in
generic terms, referring to all of us as “the body of Christ”;
that is, the mystical body of Christ as referenced in Romans
12:5: “So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every
one members one of another.”
He however expresses a profound truth about our
individual connection and oneness with Jesus Christ by
saying, “…your bodies are the members of Christ….” This is
a most powerful truth in God’s Word that you can apply for
your health. It isn’t only your spirit that is part of the mystical
body of Christ, your physical body is a member of Christ! This
means Christ uses, rules, and functions in your physical body.
If this is true, and it is true, where then would sickness come
from? Christ is in you; He perambulates in you. Blessed Be
God!
Ephesians 1:22-23 says “And hath put all things under
his feet, and gave him (Jesus Christ) to be the head over all
things to the church,Which is his body, the fulness of him that
filleth all in all.” It says the body of Christ—the Church—is the
fullness of Christ. And since your very physical body is part
of the whole structure called the body of Christ, it means that
you’re the expression of His reality, His grace, glory, kingdom,
power and personality! You’re the expression of His fullness:
Members Of His Body
He is your completeness, but without you, the body isn’t
complete.
Every one of us is important in the body of Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:27: “Now ye are the body of Christ, and
members in particular.” He uses the term “members in
particular, showing that each one is important in the structure.
Ephesians 5:30 declares, “For we are members of his body, of
his flesh, and of his bones.”
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for
sending Jesus to shed His
precious blood and die in my
place. In this, I rejoice for His
blood was shed for my salvation,
soundness, and preservation, to
bring me into oneness with you.
Thank you for the life of glory and
excellence that I have in Christ,
and the dominion of your Word
in my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
