Bible Question:
In comparing 1 Corinthians 6:17 and Epesians 5:29 tonight I thought about how believers are one spirit with Him and that we are members of His body. What other verses come to your mind in considering this thought of Christ's spiritual body and the church? From the heart, Ray |
Bible Answer: I don't know of any off the top of my head with regards to the body and the head, but try a search for the temple and the cornerstone (same analogy). I think of Rev, Psalms, Heb, and I know there are others. Also think of the 'mystery of marraige' where 2 become 1 flesh: Christ the Groom, the Church the Bride. And Baptism where we take on a new identity (as a wife does of her husband). This is the nature of the mystery, we have unity with Christ and a working dependent relationship with each other(e.g. hand to eye coordination). |
