👑 Christ is a Living Head of a Living Body The Lord's promises to us are not promises from a person who sleeps in history books, nor even in the Holy Scripture itself; because "I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:20) might seem like words, but they are not merely words; they are "the embodied presence." The living Christ conquered death in His human nature, and He conquers death in the nature of everyone united with Him. The body of Jesus Christ, the congregation, meaning the members of His body, is not just any group, but a group constituted as His body from His flesh and His bones (Ephesians 5:30). So the body brings to us the life of the Son, and therefore the Son carried us in Himself to heaven and seated us with Him in the heavenly places. A living Head from whom life reaches every member. All of humanity came to be in Him; because "as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive" (1 Corinthians 15:22). But we have allowed death to toy with life, and we have focused the greatest amount of light on sin alone, so the resurrection was lost; indeed, the cross was lost; indeed, Christ Himself was lost!!! #BodyOfChrist #Church #LivingHead #ResurrectionLife #InChrist #ChristianUnity
