Thank you for always giving
scriptural references
for your answers.

I heard a pastor yesterday
saying that we ( believers )
are literally the body of Christ.

I wanted to know more
about that comment and
how it aligns itself
to scripture.

According to John 17:23
Jesus dwells in us.

While the Bible doesn& #39;t
say so in so many words,
it& #39;s reasonable to assume
that when someone needs
a hug from Him,
He might use our arms
to give it.

When He wants to extend
a hand, ours could be
the hand He uses.

When He smiles at someone,
it& #39;s our face the person sees
and when he expresses
His love it& #39;s often through
our eyes.

When he has a message
to send, we& #39;re the ones
who deliver it.

Even though there& #39;s no
chapter and verse on this
we& #39;ve all experienced it,
either as the giver
or the receiver.

So in that sense, we are
literally the body of Christ.
