What is the Mystical Body of Christ?
ChristiansThe body of Christ is the Christian congregation.ANOTHER ANSWER:The Body of Christ is HIS WIFE... the CHURCH... whom He Loves dearly; and for and to whom He gave His Life! It's the collective of all whom God is calling out of the world for His Holy use [sanctification]. The Church of God is, collectively, God's Wife; and each person, individually within the church [within the protective, nourishing womb of God's Wife], is a struggling, growing, developing Child of God."For a husband is the head of his wife AS CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF HIS BODY, THE CHURCH; He gave His Life to be her Savior. As the church submits to Christ, so you wives must submit to your husbands in everything [That's not exactly as you hear marriage described by rebellious men in this world, is it?]."And you husbands must love your wives WITH THE SAME LOVE CHRIST SHOWED THE CHURCH. He gave up His Life for her to make her Holy and Clean, washed by baptism and God's Word." (Eph.5:23-26 NLTNew Living Translation)As God created the institution of "marriage"... the wife is commanded to revere and obey her husband DIRECTLY in proportion TO HER HUSBAND's REVERENCE AND OBEDIENCE TO CHRIST!"As the Scriptures say, 'A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.' THIS IS A GREAT MYSTERY, but it is an illustration OF THE WAY CHRIST AND THE CHURCH ARE ONE. So again I say, EACH MAN MUST LOVE HIS WIFE AS HE LOVES HIMSELF, and the wife must respect her husband." (verses 31-33)
