We Are Members of His Body

(Jn15:5-7, Eph5:29-32)

God is Lord.

All things come from Him, and

He gives life abundantly to those who obey Him.

Faith is making a relationship with Him, and

The life of this faith is living attached to the Lord.

"Lord refers to the head, the ruler ”

What a slave calls his master, a people their king.

As such, God wants to be the Lord of all people for

The head and the body have the absolute life relationship.

In the beginning the Creator was vaguely known as "God (Ge1:1; 1Pe4:19), but

When He began to reveal Himself more specifically as a person

He became known as "the Lord God and

He gave the living being Adam the commandment regarding the forbidden fruit (Ge2:4-7, 17).

However, when Adam sinned (Ge3:5-6, 24)

Deceived by the devil, the fallen angel (Is14:12-15),

The Garden became shielded with the flaming sword and angel for

The name Jehovah (the Lord) was the name shielded by angel.

Moses heard the voice of the angel calling him from the burning bush (Ex3:2-5) and

He was kept from coming any closer.

The sanctuary where the name Jehovah was placed (2Ch6:5) was also

Not to be approached carelessly for

The Lord Almighty was enthrone between the cherubim (1Sa4:4; Is1:24; Eze9:3; Jerr2:19).

Thus, the Jews feared the Lord God who is one Lord (Dt6:4).

Jesus said, "Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days (Jn2;19), because

Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body,

He would give life to souls and become their Lord for

He is the incarnate Word from the beginning (Jn1:1, 14) who

Came to give life abundantly (Jn6:53-56).

As He died, Jesus said, "It is finished (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1) Revealed that the Father alone is the Lord of life who commanded the Son to lay down His life and will raise Him back to life (Jn10:17-8; Php2:6-8);
2) Tore His flesh, the wall of sin, the gates (authority) of the angel (Mt27:51; He10:19-20); and
3) With His blood paid the price of din and purchased all souls (1Pe1:18-19; Rev5:9).

He rose and sat at the righthand of the Majesty as the Lord of Life (Ac3:15) and

By that He is pleasing the Father forever (Jn10:17) while

He is to be glorified surrounded by those wearing the crown of life.

The Holy Spirit comes in the name Yeshua

To the gathering of those who believe that He is the Lord of life ” the church (Mt18:20).

Yeshua is the Head of the church and

The church is His body (Eph1:22), and

Believers are the members of His body, the community of life.

The man of the Spirit is he who

Values himself for being a member of His body and

Thus puts effort to remain attached to His body to live (Jn15:5-7), and

Also cherishes other members (Rm12:3-13; 1Co12:12-27).



O Lord,

Because we did not realize how precious each one of us is

At times we neglected ourselves and

Looked down at others.

From now on, let us cherish one another and cling on to each other!

Lord, do not let go of us! Amen.
