“Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. – 1st Corinthians 12:27
God works through symbols – a piece of bread, a drop of oil, some sprinkled water, but it is the reality which is holy, the symbol is only a poor representation.
We who have placed our faith in Christ are, individually, a part his body and have a part in touching one another with and for Christ. The gifts of the Holy Spirit work in that endeavor, helping us do our part.

“In the past God spoke … through the prophets …but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son” – Hebrews 1:1-2 NIV
Christ is the Pivot Point of history. All true prophets and seers of the past pointed to him and he is now the source of all God’s revelation.
No more is there, nor has there been, need for another to come after Christ and speak for him, all such are impostors; he speaks for himself to and through his body with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. This is their purpose.

“God has a face and it looks like your face and my face. If people want to know what he looks like they will be looking at you and me … People are looking at you and me to see if the word of God has any flesh on it.”
– Fr. Desmond Gooneskera, Rector, St. Cuthbert Episcopal Church, December 26, 2010
The Apostle Paul put it this way,
“Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. – 1st Corinthians 12:27
