So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another (Romans 12:5).
This concept of Jesus and His people as a body and its members was bound up with the very conversion and calling of Saul of Tarsus. The Lord’s first words to him, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting,” stressed the fact that in touching His own, Saul was touching Him. In a remarkable way they heralded therefore the great revelation that was to be given him of the mystery of the Church.
But the Lord did not leave the matter there. He did not allow him to stay with the heavenly mystery. The command that immediately followed came right down to the practical consequences of such a revelation. “Rise, and enter into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” You will be told! He must await instructions from those he hated! Apart from the very disciples he had set himself to destroy, Saul would be helpless; he would never know. Amen!!!
Good Morning. May the Light of God illuminate your path always. Stay Safe and Blessed.
