Finding a home in the body of Christ

What does it mean to be a member of the body of Christ? Romans 12:5 says, “So in Christ we feel many form one body and each member belongs to all the others.” Mark 10:45 tells us: “For even the son of man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Being within the body of Christ means bonding with and loving other Christians (members) and also providing selfless assistance to others in your community.

My wife and I recently went to a Washington State Veterans’ Cemetery, where I officiated at a service for a veteran. Opportunities like this, for me and my wife to spread the gospel and the love of Jesus Christ for man's salvation, bless us beyond description. The church that I pastor in the larger body of Christ supports me in being the servant my God intended me to be.
