Artificial Body Parts Day 91
Christ's Body contains some artificial limbs. Some Christians, who make a decision for Christ but do not become disciples, are like a glass eye or tin leg in the Body of Christ. They look as though they are alive, but no life flows through them. Belonging to the Household Body involves a physical involvement with Christ which is much more than membership of a church club. Two Christians were talking together and one said, "Isn't it wonderful to be safe in the arms of Jesus?" "Yes," replied the other, "but I am safer than that.. I am as safe as an arm of Jesus, for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones." Discipleship is logically and biblically the only sure sign of membership in the Body of Christ, though we may try to convince ourselves that one can be a Christian without being a disciple.
Some church members hardly ever darken the door of the church but are deeply offended when it is suggested they ought to worship weekly. Some Christians say, "I believe in Jesus," but are not prepared to serve him in the fellowship of the Body of Christ. Belief without belonging is like being,
- A football player without a team.
- A student who will not go to school.
- A child without a family.
- A bee without a hive.
