As Christians we are Jesus body on Earth but what does that mean? Well, Jesus came to Earth to sacrifice His Earthly body for our salvation and He got His Heavenly life back. And so as His Earthly body our role can be no different than His was. If we want to go to Heaven too then we have to sacrifice our Earthy bodies, we certainly can’t bring about salvation BUT we can continue to teach others as He did when He was here! And we have to give up ALL reference to our actual status as He did and play second fiddle as He did and as He told us in the Bible, we have to let Him lead which does make a lot of sense because we ARE His body!
