We are the Body of Christ

"“Or what woman, having ten silver coins,if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?"

Luke 15 :8 (New King James Version)


We are the body of Christ ... When we join together as believers in Christ every Sunday its not just another "To Do" event in our calendar... We are joining together as the body of Christ .

Most of us know the Parable of the Lost coin... There was a woman who had with her ten silver coins and one of them got lost... Now she did not just glory in the nine coins that she had...but she was burdened for the one that was lost...And she lights a lamp, sweeps the house and searches carefully until she finds it.

We as the body of Christ need to have a similar burden for those who still dont know Christ as their personal Saviour. We ought not to just glory in the number of members of our church or how great our choir sounds or how many care cells we have ... no no no... We need to be burdened for the lost out there...

Are we burdened for the lost ? Do we get down on our knees in one accord for them ? Are we burning bright and sweeping and searching for them ?

Here is a nice song by "Casting Crowns"

"But if we are the Body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the Body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way
There is a way "

God Bless
