Ephesians 4: 14-16
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, by which they lie in wait to deceive; But, speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all things, who is the head, even Christ; from Whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
JESUS, THE HEAD OF THE BODY
I like to meditate on the image of the Body of Christ, made up of all the true believers in JESUS, knit together in Love. The Love of the LORD GOD, the love of one another and the love of neighbor. When the Head, JESUS, says "move" the body moves in harmony; every join working smoothly as the Body of Christ acts according to the command of JESUS.
We are a part of that Body, when we come in surrender to JESUS and His leading. We are part of that image, taking command from the head and moving in harmony with every other part to accomplish His will.
How do we stay in tune with the rest of the Body? By being in complete harmony with the Head, JESUS. The relationship between us and Him makes our part of the Body smooth and agile. The more we study the Word of the LORD, the more we pray, the more we receive communion, the more we fellowship with other believers and the more we trust him, even in times of trial, trouble and tribulation, the more like Him we become, until we are one Body of Christ.
LET US GROW UP INTO THE HEAD OF THE BODY AND BE ONE WITH JESUS
