The body of Christ

Greetings to all of you ,Thank you for taking the time to read are really important to me . Today I want to share with you a reflection based on:

Ephesians 4:16 from whom the whole body, being well adjusted and kingdom by the cohesion that the joints provide, in accordance with the proper functioning of each member, produces the growth of the body for your own edification in love.

The body of Christ

To have a little more light on the meaning of this text, let's take a look at the definition of two words that are key.

Adjust :

Fit ,put together a thing with the other adapting it so that there is no space between them , is to ensure that something fits in such a way that there is no opening between the two parties, for example when adjusting a nut, teneos that exert some pressure for that the two parts are engaged with each other.

Cohesion:

Close relationship that denotes union , physics is defined as the union of the molecules of a body.

We can clearly see the call to the unity of the body of Christ which is the church in this text, but not a superficial but that is from the interior ; indeed all beings have defects and the Church is full of them because we are all human beings and the fact that we are there does not mean that we are perfect, there the only one perfect God is, above all, our character is tested which we demand in the word that should be like that of Christ(Galatians 5: 21), so that we can through love grow to its fullness.

There is no denying that often makes us uphill to our way of thinking, to take and grasp what the Lord offers us. The reference to the church as the body is tremendous, as it has plenty of members which depend on each other for their optimal functioning, their functions are closely linked since none can make your function without the help of the other , if one is not in complying correctly with your work the discomfort is manifested in all the body.

This is not written by chance a hand cannot wield a sword if only the socket with two fingers , of course , you need the other fingers, in addition to the ligaments that make their bones to move.

A TESTIMONY TO MAKE REFERENCE.

2 years ago i had a fall, which affected my right foot with an ankle fracture and rupture of the ligaments , the pain was unbearable and she could get plaster that day in the emergency that was too swollen, so after injecting painkillers I placed a splint and i had to go back in a week to put the plaster ,which, after 15 days they were removing to make studies because it had no mobility in none of my fingers that was when they discovered that he had torn tendons.

My distress at that moment was terrible , particularly for me was horrible that situation and more to think on the job or support what was spinning over and over and over in my head, was that it was not going to be able to never more danzarle my God , I am not to be in a service with her hands crossed , i can't is something that i can not control, he made us free to praise Him with all that we are and when he heard a praise my feet are going alone to dance ; it was stormy go to service these days and not being able to jump or dance but, on the other hand, regardless of my physical impairment, my spirit danced With the beloved was beautiful was a lesson for me.

I reference part of this testimony because we need each other , the gifts and talents did not flow into fullness if there is division nor the glory of God will flow out of the way the Lord wants and longs to pour it out ,if the bride is divided ,only when we understand that we can only be and exercise what Jesus won on the cross for the church when you have of spirit, so much so that the need of one is the of all , to weep with those who weep , we should rejoice with those who rejoice, because if a tendon does not work is that you can move to the bone ?.If a body is sick not affects the entire Body?

Only the glory will be shed in an extraordinary way and never seen before , when gestemos within our spirit that we need each other, I need you and you need me to give you what has been given to me and your ami and all to Christ who is the head of the entire body and for this, as explained in the definition of the words that you place at the beginning , there are to be adjusted to each other and have a cohesion between if ; is that sinuses we will do great things.
