Where is the Body of Christ?

I am posing the question...Where is the body of Christ? I am not asking this question because of the lack of churches in our communities and because hundreds of thousands of people don't attend or belong to these churches. I am asking this question because I see very little evidence that there is a Body of Christ.

The bible teaches us to love our neighbors as our own selves. It also teaches us to give to everyone that asks. Yes, the bible teaches us how to actually be the Body of Christ, but in my 20 years of being saved I see very little evidence of the Body's existence. Sure, I hear people praying and I see people serving in various ministries in the church building, but what about outside the 4 walls of the church, are we really operating as the Body of Christ?

There are many people that believe that as long as they attend church and they serve in a ministry that they are fulfilling the purpose of the Body of Christ. However, you must look at what Christ himself did for God's people. Christ prayed for people and Christ even raised people from the dead, but what did Christ do on a daily basis?

Christ loved God's creation in feeding them, encouraging them, housing them, clothing them. Christ said in His word if you've done it unto the least of them, then you have done it un to me. Christ visited the sick and those who were in jail.

When was the last time you took time to visit the sick and feed the hungry? When was the last time you paid someone's rent or mortgage out of your own pocket? When was time you purchased someone else groceries or paid someone's light or gas bill?

You see the Body of Christ is suppose to be Christ here in the earth. We tend to depend on the church organization to feed the hungry or pay someone's debts, but if we are truly the Body of Christ, we should be operating as such in doing these things and not just relying on the church organization to perform our responsibilities.

Beloved, loving others cost us something. You can't love without giving up something and sometimes that means we have to give our time, our money and our resources for the good of someone else and that especially means people you don't even know.

For God so LOVED the world that He gave His only Begotten Son and while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. If God would give us such a wonderful gift, then why not help someone in need today and watch and see if God will not pour you out blessings, so much that you won't be able to receive them.

Again, I ask, Where is the Body of Christ?
