Combined Body Day 98
In this household Body of Christ, different members play special roles, like the organs and limbs of a human body but though each part is unique, all combine to act as a single person. Paul writes, "The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ."1 Members of the Household Body siphon their strength not only from Christ but also from one another. Like a bicycle wheel, the Mystical Body is most effective when its spokes are attached to the Jesus hub, and to their Christian friends at the rim.
The very first Body of Christ was the group of disciples gathered together by Jesus. Lewis Garnsworthy, when Bishop of Toronto, asked his clergy to follow our Lord's example and draw twelve lay people into leadership for mutual support and encouragement. In reality, many ministries combine to make the church effective.
"Effective sustained growth involves presence, proclamation and promise." Discuss
