The Lord spoke in my heart
“There’s only One Body, One Church.”
So strongly He spoke this again
in my heart. This was His next message
to impress in all our hearts.
It is not many faiths that have
to come together as one. NO NO NO. It is One Faith, One Lord, One Body, One
Church.
Jesus Christ is the Head of this
church. The Only Church. The True Church
and Body of Jesus Christ.
There is only one gospel which is
the good news of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom: which He has made possible for
us to enter and abide in through His Blood that was shed and by the dying on
that cross for the forgiveness from our sins and for the redemption of our
souls, being justified through His resurrection (Romans 4:25)...Giving us the
Gift of Eternal Life.
There’s other ways to say this
that I’m sure you could do, yet it all comes back to this one thing: Jesus Christ is God’s Word that was made
manifest in the flesh, for the liberating of us out of death and into His
Life... to be One with Him who is the Head of His Church, which is the church
of the first born which is noted in Hebrews 12:23; and to become His Body which
is the fullness of him that fills all in all as noted in Ephesians 1:22-23.
Ephesians 1:22-23 And hath put
all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to
the church, which is his body, the fulness of him that
filleth all in all.
Grabbing a hold of this we see
that He has made us His body that HE is manifested through in heaven AND in
this earth. His fullness ... His
completed work of salvation... abiding In Us...each one of us that has received
HIM, our Saviour, Head, and Lord.
Ephesians 5:23,30
v23 ...Christ is the head of
the church; and he is the saviour of the body.
v30 For we are members of his
body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
Colossians 1:18 And he is the
head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the
dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
v19 For it pleased the Father
that in him should all fulness dwell;
v20 And, having made peace
through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto
himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in
heaven....
Colossians 2:19 And not holding the
Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment
ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
This verse is speaking in a
negative, corrective form, but read it in the affirmative, positive form
concerning Christ the Head and His body and how important it is to nourish one
another.
1 Corinthians 10:16-17 The cup of
blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The
bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
v17 For we being many are one
bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
The Bread of Life (John 6:26-65)
v51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this
bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh,
which I will give for the life of the world.
Hebrews 10:20 By a new and living
way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his
flesh;
So we Eat of His Body, and Drink
of His Blood...Entering into His Kingdom, and our new Life that is His. Daily Communing together in and by the Holy
Spirit, to nourish one another In Christ Jesus: the Bread of Life, so that we
may grow up into the Head and increase even more with the increase of God.
God through His only begotten
Son, Jesus Christ, makes us One with Him, Our One and Only Head.... a new life,
new identity, new head of the household...which now we have become His Body,
His Church... that the world may taste of Him who is Lord over all, and Saviour
for all.
Amen.
