What is meant by the "mystical body of Christ"?
Mystic ; someone who is mysterious; someone who does
things out of the ordinary
Body -- a group of people or a group of organs in one body
I, your Lord and master, Jesus, am truly a mystical body. I am your
God, but I was born into your
world as a human. I lived on your earth as a human for 33 years, and
then I died and rose to enter
my heavenly kingdom as your God, once more.
So, analyzing the mystical body of Christ, you might say although I
had a human body, made of
many parts and organs, I also had a mystical body that resided in me
while on earth. I am now, I
was then, and I always will be, a part of the mystical Trinity, God--Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit.
Many people never understand this mystical body, so they disassociate
themselves away from this
truth. Some who have strong faith say they do not completely understand,
but they will believe
because God has acknowledged this miracle of faith.
Let me also intervene here with another thought for you to ponder: the
mystical body--one body in
Christ. It means all of my people who believe in me, who love me beyond
human comprehension, all
make up the mystical body of Christ. All who profess and believe with
all their hearts make up the
body of Christ.
I am, to many, a mystery. I am not real in their eyes. Oh, yes, they
want to believe that I do
exist--look at the wonderful season of Christmas celebrated each year
on your earth plane. This
season bears my name and--although many try to dampen the spirit by
saying, "The time is wrong"
or "It's really a pagan celebration" or "It's too materialistic"--still,
I see people coming together at this
special time of year to love, to share, and to offer their good will
on this blessed night of Christ-mas
Eve and the celebration of Christmas Day. To those who do not belong
to the mystical body of
Christ, there is grieving, a wish to belong to this special, mysterious,
magic time of year when all
become as little children, eyes sparkling, hearts happy, and all at
one with their God.
Thus, I say unto you, the mystical body of Christ is real. I am your
God. I am your friend. I am your
savior. I am one God in three persons. My human body was consumed with
love from the Father,
and I was taken up mystically by his love to be with him. Now, my mystical
body encompasses all of
my followers. You are all my body. You have my human organs, especially
my heart, and my
spiritual body, the soul. You are "strange and wonderfully made." You
have been bought at a high
price by God the Father, and through my sufferings and death for your
sins, you are truly sons and
daughters of the King and belong to the mystical body of Christ.
Believe me, you are all godly people who will witness my love and devotion
to those who have
strayed from this mystical body. Please build this mystical body--get
it in shape to rule the world and
overcome evil. Keep the body nourished and free from the disease of
atheism, of mediocre love of
God, and from all human illness, such as greed, lust, and grave injustices.
Keep the mystical body
well and strong by receiving my special nourishment, by keeping my
laws, and by regularly training
this body to do our heavenly Father's will.
This is your lesson for the day. You may share this with all my people,
and I will be with you to give
you more knowledge on this spiritual subject. Go now in my peace and
love.
Your master teacher,
JESUS
