What Jesus Was, Church Should Be 2/9 Tuesday Truth

All that Jesus was to the world He purposed that the Church of Christ should be.  First, He blessed the world through His own physical personality.  Second, He established a physical body, composed of many members, joined in one by the Spirit of God.When He established the second body, the Church, He never intended that it should be of lesser authority or of lesser power than the first.  It was His real purpose that the second body, the Church, should exercise and fully accomplish all that the first had done.
