Christ's Body Day 2
The church struggles to find its place in a new age. It casts around looking for a working model to enable it not just to survive but to grow gracefully. Rather than tinkering with the mechanics of the institutional church, we might better look at the Early Church model of the Body of Christ. She is relevant for Christians today.
This mystical reality transforms small groups, institutions and denominations toward the great vision of the universal, global and heavenly Body of Christ. It quietly energizes today's leadership, clergy, lay leaders and ordinary Christian men and women. In the Mystical Body, we rediscover a vision of a church that is no longer encumbered with buildings. She is set free to be God's hands and feet in the world. She is the Mystical Body of Christ. David Watson wrote, "Two thousand years ago, it was the person of Christ that was compellingly attractive, not the individual disciples with all their individual blemishes. Today, it is the Body of Christ, when deeply united in love, and not individual Christians, that can most of all make one hungry for God."1
