Cada uno de ustedes es parte de la iglesia, y todos juntos forman el cuerpo de Cristo. (I Corintios 12:27)
En muchos sentidos, la iglesia se parece mucho a la mayoría de las organizaciones. Sin embargo, en un aspecto crucial, somos esencialmente diferentes: la iglesia es el cuerpo de Cristo. La iglesia existe porque Jesús murió y resucitó de la muerte por nosotros(as). Julián de Norwich, escritor del siglo XIV, captura algo de esta increíble relación al hablar de Jesús como nuestra madre espiritual, que nos dio a luz en la cruz. Este es un vínculo de intimidad, obediencia y amor. A través de su muerte y resurrección, somos colectivamente una nueva creación: el cuerpo de Cristo. De esta manera, la iglesia es única entre las organizaciones.
Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. (I Corinthians 12:27)
In many ways the church looks pretty much like most organizations. However, in one crucial respect we are essentially different: the church is the body of Christ. The church exists because Jesus died and rose from death for us. The 14th century writer Julian of Norwich captures something of this amazing relationship in talking about Jesus as our spiritual mother, giving birth to us on the cross. This is a bond of intimacy, obedience, and love. Through his death and resurrection we are collectively a new creation: the body of Christ. In this way, the church is unique among organizations.
The Rev. Dr. Niles Reimer is an unassuming presence in any setting and that’s the way he likes it.
