The Body of Christ:

The Body of Christ:
the mystery of how the Body of Christ(i.e,the Church) functions.
...
1- Just as the natural body has 5 senses(Eyes,Nose,Tongue,Ear,& Skin),so also is the Body of Christ with 5 ministries given to the Church as Apostles,Prophets,Evangelists,Pastors & Teachers:
-for the Perfecting of the saints;
-for the Work of the ministry;
-for Edifying of the Body of Christ.
And these must  not stop till we all come in the :-
*unity of the faith,and of the 
*knowledge of the Son of God,unto a perfect man in measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ,speaking the Truth in Love.[Ephesian 4:11-16].

2- Just as the natural body has blood & DNA as its unique identifier(family?!) so also is the Body of Christ having the Blood of God in flesh running through the Church,which is our new family in God.

3- Just as the natural body has a Nervous System running through the backbone attached to the brain in the head,so also we have the Holy Spirit linking us to Christ in God.This is how we interact with people and things.Without the backbone the body is paralysed [Eph 4:16].If any part of the body does not join itself to its backbone,it withers and dies.

4- What about marriage? Two unique DNA bonding to form a unique identifier,that is,a new body.Here the new body now has the attributes of both DNA or parents.God is Spirit and He gave of Himself,His only begotten Son and His Holy Spirit[Eph 4:4].And since we became born-again,we have become a new being,sons of God,a god to the devil,demons,and our world.

I can go on and on describing the mystery of this beautiful Body of Christ,but time and space would not permit.Ponder on these that you may know what you've become and to whom you belong,Christ Jesus.
