The Church is the Body of Christ.

The Church is the Body of Christ.

We are a manifestation of this Body, the part that is visible, because we commune with Him.

When we receive Communion, we become an organic part of Christ.

We are visible but God is invisible, 

If God had been visible in Christ in a more direct way, visible for our physical eyes, who would dare do anything to Him?

Instead, He hides His divinity from us, He doesn’t want it to make it obvious?

Why is this? Why does He not want to make it obvious?

He wants you to choose freely. That’s why!

When you hear the word of God, when you hear about Christ, 

When you see His love, His humility, His obedience, 

When you see the moral greatness of Christ (not in this-worldly sense), 

He wants you, seeing all this, to have the desire to be with Him. 

Archpriest Theodore Gignadze
