So when God says the church is like a body, this tells us that (i) we are all different as the members of the body are all different and have different functions, and that (ii) there is unity, just as the members of a body all work together in unity. And, most importantly, Christ is the Head of this body.
Hivi wakati Mungu anaonyesha kanisa kama mwili, ile inatuonyesha (i) kwamba tuko wote tofauti kama viungo vya mwili na tuna kazi mbalimbali na kwamba (ii) kuna umoja, kweli sawa viungo vya mwili vinatumika pamoja ndani ya umoja. Na, ya muhimu sana, Kristo ndiye kichwa ao mkubwa wa mwili huu.
