The Anointed Team

"For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body - Jews or Greeks, slaves or free - and all were made to drink of one Spirit. For the body does not consist of one member but of many." 1 Corinthians 12:12-14 ESV

Meditating on the value of a team and the use of the word 'Christ' here. Jesus was and Is our Saviour's name that represents His incarnation. Christ Is who He Is and always was. It Is His eternal identity in relation to creation. He Is the 'anointed One'.

Christ is the One who took on the role of identification with mankind.

"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." - Matthew 25:34 ESV

"He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you" - 1 Peter 1:20 ESV

"And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." - Revelation 13:8 KJV

A team is like Him and He Is like a Spirit-filled team. These unique teams exist because He died, rose again and now sits in session at the right hand of the Father.

It takes many people working together to represent Him. He Is more than one of us but identifies which 'each' and 'all' of us.
