“For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.”
1 Corinthians 12:12-13 KJV
Paul’s revelation was, “Just as the human body is one, though it has many parts that together form one body, so too is Christ. For by one Spirit we all were immersed and mingled into one single body. And no matter our status—whether we are Jews or non-Jews, oppressed or free—we are all privileged to drink deeply of the same Holy Spirit.” Christ is now a Body with many parts. The Human Body of Jesus is glorified and enthroned in heaven. So also the Body of Christ. We are co-enthroned with Him but we continue to exist on earth to represent Him to the world. We were baptised into the Body of Christ when we came into a personal relationship with Christ. He gave us a new birth; He came to dwell in us; He places us as a member of Christ’s Body on the earth; He seals us as the possession of Christ until the redemption of our human body. We drink deeply of the Holy Spirit and it is the same as receiving His power and gifts until rivers of Living Waters flow from the inside of us. Amen!
