“And
hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things
to the church. Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all.”
Eph 1:22-23
As
Christ is head of the church, we as Christians are to make the body, making
each of us a vital part of the whole. The
human body has an estimated 32.7 trillion cells which break down to five
primary types. Question is do you
function properly within the body of Christ as a Christian?
First
type, Skin cells; they protect the inner workings of the body and while Christ
does not need protection, do we allow the outside world interfere in our
relationship, trust and faith in Christ or are we able to keep the temporal out
of the eternal? Second type, Muscle cells; they power the body and strengthen
it, do you depend on your own physical power to fight life or the power of the
Holy Spirit? (bodily exercise profit little…1
Tim 4:8) Third type, Nerve cells; the
information highway which transmits and processes information vital for
functioning properly, what fuels your mind, by what means do you transmit
information (let this mind be in you which
was also in Christ Jesus…Phl 2:5). Fourth type, Stem cells; provide the renewing
of damage cells, fight off that which attacks.
Do you offer strength, encouragement, hope to those around you, showing
the fruits of the Spirit in your life for others to draw from? Fifth type, Gamete cells: brings forth life,
reproduces. Are you helping to bring
forth new spiritual life through Christ, sharing the hope and promise of His
salvation?
We're are all familiar with the FAT cell, just taking and absorbing all it can get to
feed itself, eventually producing an ugly site, surely not us!
