The body is an example of how the church should function. Just as the parts of the body function under the direction of the brain, so Christians are to work together under the command and authority of Jesus Christ.

Do you Remember what it was like? Anticipation! KEY BIBLE VERSE: Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the oth- ers. (Romans 12:4-5, niv) The body is an example of how the church should function. Paul uses the concept of the human body to teach Christians how to live and work together. Just as the parts of the body function under the direction of the brain, so Christians are to work together under the command and authority of Jesus Christ (see 1 Corinthians 12:12-31; Ephesians 4:1-16).

Revelation 12:1-12 ( ESV ) 1 Message Notes And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman (A) clothed with(B) the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.2She was pregnant and(C) was crying out in birth pains and the ag- ony of giving birth. 3And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great(D) red dragon,(E) with seven heads and(F) ten horns, and on his heads(G) seven diadems. 4His tail swept down(H) a third of the stars of heaven and(I) cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child (J) he might devour it. 5She gave birth to a male child,(K) one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was (L) caught up to God and to his throne, 6and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for (M) 1,260 days. 7Now war arose in heaven,(N) Michael and(O) his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, 8but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9And(P) the great dragon was thrown down,(Q) that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan,(R) the deceiver of the whole world—(S) he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. 10And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now (T) the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the au- thority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers [a] has been thrown down,(U) who accuses them day and night before our God. 11And(V) they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for(W) they loved not their lives(X) even unto death. 12Therefore,(Y) rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But (Z) woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!"
