True church
I was once asked by someone where I thought the true church was. I said the church was the body of Christ. I was reminded by the person asking the question that he had asked me where ?and not what? To which I said OK, it's right here. I pointed at him first then myself. He looked perturbed. And he told me that wasn't what he was asking.
I knew that but I didn't want to get sucked into a game of "where's the church". Christians spend a lot time trying to figure out where the church is or who is saved. If we only spent as much time on loving people to Jesus I think we would please God more. Division breaks my heart and I know breaks God's heart. Jesus prayed that we would be one as he and the Father are one. Yet we are so splintered.
I became intrigued with magic (sleight of hand) as a child because I saw a man rip a sheet of paper into many pieces and restore it back into one whole piece. What an awesome trick to do such a thing. For years I opened my corporate magic show with a variation of that very trick. If it were only so easy to restore the church (body of Christ) back to unity.
This subject makes me sad. Let's pray for unity.
