Rhapsody of Realities 20 August 2024: We’re the Limbs of Christ
Scripture: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones (Ephesians 5:30).
This is amazing! The Bible says, “For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.” That means we’re the limbs of Christ; that’s what
the word “members” means. Therefore, your legs are Christ’s legs; your hands are His hands. You’re inseparably fused as one with Him.
This is the meaning of 1 Corinthians 6:15 where it says, “Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ?…” That’s the same thing we read in Ephesians 5:30; it addresses individual members of the Church. In you, Christ is fully represented, expressed and manifested. He walks in you, talks in and through you, works in and through you.
Wherever you are, you’re the “body” of Christ—the limbs of Christ. This should be your daily consciousness. Being born again, you’ve come into union with Christ: that’s the biggest thing about our salvation. Not only has your spirit been recreated, you’ve been immersed into Christ; you became literally joined together with Him as one divine creation.

1 Corinthians 12:13 says, “For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body….” Now you can understand when the Bible says your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19; 1 Corinthians 3:16). This isn’t a religious talk; it’s the reality of your life. You’re a God- carrying vessel. Divinity is at work in you and revealed in and through you. Give attention to these truths; meditate on them and live accordingly every day.
PRAYER: I acknowledge my divine union with Christ; every part of my body functions perfectly, reflecting the life and power of Christ within me. I walk in this consciousness, knowing that Christ is fully represented, expressed and manifested in and through me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

And He has put all things under His feet and has appointed Him the universal and supreme Head of the church [a headship exercised throughout the church],

I have been crucified with Christ [in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ (the Messiah) lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by faith in (by adherence to and reliance on and complete trust in) the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
1 Corinthians 6:19
