Mystery Body Members or Kingdom Vine Branches? Part 2
*Mystery Body Members or Kingdom Vine Branches? (Part 2)* In Part 1, we examined Christ’s pre-cross teaching to Israel about abiding in the Vine (John 15). We learned that this instruction—full of “if’s”—was directed to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, before the cross and before the revelation of the Mystery. It was never spoken to or about the Body of Christ. (If you missed Part 1, be sure to go back and watch it first!) 👉 Today, in Part 2, we turn our attention to the *post-cross revelation* given through the Apostle Paul. Salvation is now offered to both Jew and Gentile by the same gospel: Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:1–4; Romans 10:12). Instead of the Vine and Branches, we learn of the *one Body* and *one Spirit* (Ephesians 4:4–6). Every believer today is placed into the Body of Christ by God Himself (1 Corinthians 12:12, 18, 27). Unlike the conditional fruit-bearing of Israel’s kingdom program, members of the Body of Christ are joined together, cared for equally, and called to edify one another (Ephesians 4:12–13; 1 Corinthians 12:24–27). This is the great difference between Israel’s prophetic program and the revelation of the Mystery. When prophecy resumes after the Body of Christ is caught up to be with Him in heavenly places, the Vine and Branches relationship will continue in Christ’s Kingdom on earth. But today, we rejoice in our identity as *members of His Body, of His flesh, and of His bones* (Ephesians 5:30). 📖 Don’t miss this vital truth: Learn to “understand the things that differ” (Philippians 1:10) between Israel’s Kingdom program and the Mystery revealed to Paul for the Body of Christ. \#RightlyDividing #MysteryRevealed #BodyOfChrist #MidActs
