Body of Christ is Living Organism

Body of Christ Is Living Organism

The body of Christ is not a doctrine; it is a living organism. If such is so, then we must be sure to learn this one thing: that only when all the members are functioning do we have the reality of the body of Christ. Only then can we see the church.

Today’s problem lies too much in us, for we have inherited the priestly system of the Roman Catholic Church and the pastoral system of the Protestant churches. And if we become just a little careless, we may end up monopolizing among ourselves as elders and workers all the services of God. It is futile to only preach the message of the body of Christ; we must also be bent on seeing that it operates. If we believe in the concept of the body of Christ, we need not be afraid of its functioning. We should believe that the Lord will call all the members to function.
