If We Are His Body… 11th June, 2009

On the way over to Starbucks this morning to spend the day reading Jeremiah, praying, journaling, and discipling, I was struck by a song on the radio by Casting Crowns called “If We Are the Body”. I have been pondering these words most of the day, since they pose a great challenge to the Church today, calling us to examine ourselves:
If we are the Body
Why aren’t His arms reaching
Why aren’t His hands healing
Why aren’t His words teaching
And if we are the Body
Why aren’t His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way
There is a way
Jesus is the way
I was challenged. If we are the Body of Christ, then we should be reaching out to the lost, the needy, the “burned”… we should be screaming God’s Words, standing up for the authority of Scripture, since it the power of God for salvation and sanctification… we should be rejoicing over people being set free from bondage and being healed of their issues…
May we, the Body, chase after Him with all our hearts, fixing our eyes on Him, saturating ourselves with His Word and with Prayer, so that we are overflowing with His Spirit, dying to self, and reaching out in love to the world God came and died for.
If we are His Body…
That song is HECKA old!! : )
