Resurrected Body Life

The Scripture reading today is from Acts 2: 41-47. If the miracle of Pentecost and the preaching of Peter might be seen as God’s act by which He gave birth to the church, through the repentance of about 3,000 persons that heard that sermon – then we have here the earliest description of the church. If we remember that the apostles spoke of the church as of Christ’s body after His bodily ascension into heaven, and that the same Spirit who rose Jesus from the dead dwells in our mortal bodies (that is, the mortal bodies of believers), then it is fair to call the church the resurrected body life of Jesus Christ. So our text today takes up at the end of Peter’s sermon.
