Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:27
Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.
Thought for the Day: We, with emphasis on we, are the Body of Christ. Collectively, we are the physical body of Jesus Christ in the world. In light of what you learned this Advent Season, what should the Body of Christ look like to the world as we approach 2019? I don’t have one specific answer to that question, and I would discourage anyone from thinking there is just one answer to the question. Instead, let us think about the vulnerability of an infant representing God to the world; let us think about our God who so loved the world that a gift of God’s self was given; let us think about this God who desired to be known and to be in relationship with humanity. How should the church, the Body of Christ in the world today, continue to reveal the God of Christmas?
Prayer: Let us continue to know the Jesus of the manger, and in doing so, know you. O Emmanuel, show us how we can better be your body – hands, heart and head. Amen.
HAVE YOU
