You don't call physical building the body of CHRIST, do you?
Of course not - that would be stupid!
We call a
piece of bread the body of CHRIST, as it should be.
If you don't eat the bread, is it the Body of Christ? Of course not. It's a chunk of bread.
It's time to recognize the Body of Christ. It's only the Body of Christ after being eaten by a person of faith, who is a member of the Body of Christ already.
Once the bread is eaten by the "Body of Christ," is it transformed into the Body of Christ? Maybe. But mostly, it simply stops being bread.
So, it is the faith in the salvation that Jesus provides that counts... not the bread.
