The Lord says ‘I am the vine, you are the branches.’ That is how the Lord wants us to think of the life of grace. Jesus is the head of the body, we are his members.

Christ’s own life comes into us - we ingest His body and blood, and His life is something we receive, consume, and eat. Follow us on: Instagram: @contemp...
