WE FORM ONE BODY (CHRIST)

1 Corinthians 12:12-13 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body —whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free —and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. (NIV)

When we say "we are Christ" some people get offended, others are ready to argue til Christ returns. But this above scripture alone is very clear on that subject. It says all of us who are many forms one body just as a human body which has many parts is one body. 

You know your body has many parts; legs, hands, stomach, mouth, eyes etc., And these makes up the you. And this you has a name, and all your body parts bears that name. 

If your name is Isaac, your hand wouldn't bear Abraham nor your legs Moses. Your whole body is one though has many parts and would bear the name Isaac. So it is with Christ. We all though many forms one body of Christ and with one name, Christ. 

Galatians 3:27-28 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

All of us are clothed with Christ; we are all swallowed up in Him and into who He is, including His Name. There is neither this nor that we are all one individual in Christ. We are one body.

Again "we are one body" means we are one temple which God lives in by His Spirit. That's why our theme scripture says we were all given the one Spirit to drink, which means we were all filled with the Spirit. In other words, we all house the Spirit of God.

PRAYER

Thank You Father for making us one body of Christ, though many the Holy Spirit has baptized us into Christ to form one body. Daily through the help of the Spirit who lives in me I give expression to Christ, blessing my world with His grace and love, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
