TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - OCTOBER 14, 2020
Wednesday, October 14, 2020 at 9:18AM The Church is the Body of Christ
Today is October 14, 2020
Welcome to your mid-week!
Writing to the church of Corinth, Apostle Paul gave them this metaphor to understand what exactly is the church:
1 Corinthians 12:27
Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
To say we are the body of Christ is to say that everyone is valuable, that everyone is essential.
To say we are the body of Christ is to say that everyone needs to submit to Jesus Christ, the head of the church.
With so many different people in this world, it makes sense that God would need a wide variety of people to reach them. This is the insight that the metaphor gives us.
However, if we are not trying to see the value in our differences and if we are not trying to obey God's command to preach the gospel, then we are not the church God wants us to be.
'Value' and 'Submission.' These are the words that Apostle Paul's metaphor should have us think about as we think about our role in the church.
God's protection and blessing over you as you wrestle with the idea of the church and the metaphor of the body of Christ, and I look forward to worshiping with you all this Sunday.
