Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart
Ephesians 1:22-23, “And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.”
The church is not an entity separate from the Person and work of Christ.
We should not think of the church as something different from His Person and work.
The church is a description of Christ with the fullness of His Person in His Body resulting in a testimony of all that He has accomplished in His work to produce us as His expression.
So the church is simply a manifestation, an extension, of Christ’s Person and Christ’s work.
Coming from various backgrounds, we may have different ideas of what “church” means.
The church is a building, or the church is an assembly of people, or the church is what we experienced for years and maybe were disappointed with.
“Church” could mean many different things to us.
But we need to see a simple and clear revelation of the church–it is nothing less and nothing more than the Person and the work of Christ embodied and expressed through His people.
This is the way we need to consider the church.
Properly speaking, the church is an extension of Christ’s Person and His work.
When the Bible says that we are His Body, it adds, “the fullness of Him who is filling all in all.”
This is how we are Christ’s extension.
It is by His filling us.
As we are being filled, there is an expression of all His riches.
Look at His Person, look at His work.
Then you know the church.
The church is simply Christ Himself and all that He is dispensed into all of us, with all the riches of His Person and His work flowing from each one of us to express His fullness.
What a marvelous realization of what the church is.
It is just Christ and more of Christ filling all His organic members.
Until Tomorrow
With A Shepherd’s Love,
Pastor Jackson
