And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. 1 Corinthians 12.26. Let us take the example of a person who may have had installed on his body an artificial leg. Now although it may appear to be almost the same as the other real leg, it nevertheless has no life in it. It therefore has no body consciousness; for when other members suffer, this artificial leg does not feel anything—when other members rejoice, the artifical limb senses no elation. All the other members have the same awareness because they all possess the one common life. Life cannot be simulated, nor does it need to be. If there is life there is no need to pretend; if there is not life there is no possibility to pretend. A Christian who sees the body life will invariably have body consciousness with other members of the body of Christ. ___________________________________ Christian Fellowship Publishers You are subscribed to receive our daily devotional by Watchman Nee, The Lord My Portion
