DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  I CORINTHIANS 12:12-13

(12)  For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
(13)  For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.


THE BODY OF CHRIST

Brethren, all Christian believers are one in the body of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior;  as our physical bodies has their own members, such hands, arms, eyes, etc....but all parts come together as our physical bodies; so Christian believers are woven together by the Holy Spirit as parts of the body of Jesus Christ,  when we receive Jesus Christ into our hearts as our Lord and Savior, we also become members of his spiritual body; there is also a second baptism which is our spiritual rebirth from the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit, when we receive it into our souls, it will manifest its powers and divers gifts in our lives to do his will in the body of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

Case in point, in the above text, Apostle Paul, speaks about the reunion of the Church as one body in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior through spiritual baptism;  (i)  first of all, to become a member of the body of Christ, we have to repent of our sins, receive him into our hearts as Lord and Savior, we automatically become members of his body;  (ii)  secondly, when we are saved, without any self efforts, the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit will take control of our lives and transform us in the faith through the righteousness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ;  (iii)   thirdly, there is also a spiritual rebirth, which is done basically by the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit; whereby, we receive anointing to speak in divers tongues, spiritual gifts and powers to do his will in the body of Jesus Christ;  (iv)  when we become part of the body of Jesus Christ, through him, we also become part of the Father of all creation, the LORD of hosts forevermore.


WORDS OF INSPIRATION:

Fruits of thoughts; because of what Jesus Christ did for all humanity on the Cross of Calvary, today, we have grace to enjoy freely; whether we are of different nationalities, races or genders; we are all parts of his body;  how do we become part of him?  we become part of him by one spiritual baptism which allows us to partake of his Spirit;  (a)  when we confess our sins and receive Jesus Christ into our hearts as Lord and Savior, we become sons and daughters of the LORD of hosts; (b)  when we receive baptism of the Holy Spirit, we become members of his spiritual body; the Holy Spirit from the Father goes around the entire body of Christ to manifest its powers and anoint believers to do his will; it does not matter which parts of the world we are or our nationalities, once we receive him into our hearts, we become parts of him collectively in the body of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior and of the Father, the LORD of hosts.


CONCLUSION:

Brethren, today, we read about how we ought to look upon ourselves as brothers and sisters in the faith of the righteousness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ;  let us not feel inferior or superior to others; but let us love ourselves with the love of the Father that he gave his only begotten Son;  for regardless of who we are today, we are all parts of the body of Christ, with different kinds of gifts manifesting through our lives for the glorification of the Father, through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior forever and evermore.  Amen and Amen!


QUOTE OF THE DAY:

(KJV.)  Colossians 2:8  Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
