(Eph 1:22) “ And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, (23) Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.”What does the Bible mean when it says the church is the body of Christ? It means we represent Him to this world and are left here upon this earth for that purpose. When He saved your soul He could easily have taken you on to Heaven. Instead, He left you among sinful man to suffer this world. Why? We have a work to do! We are to live as saints among this world. We are to speak of God’s goodness and sacrifice as we live among the lost. We are His body in His absence. He lives in us through the Holy Spirit for that purpose!
