The Body is the Body of Christ, the One who has been enthroned and given the lordship and authority in heaven and on earth and even under the earth. He has received all authority, and as the Body we are identified with Him. Therefore, we are in the heavenlies, we have the authority, and we can exercise the authority. If such is the case, as those who are serving the Lord, we will serve not only with power but also with authority. Look at the situation on the day of Pentecost. Peter and the others served God with authority, not merely with the power that is according to the concept of many Christians today. Peter and the others declared, “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made Him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you have crucified” (Acts 2:36). He is the Head, and we are the Body. We are one with Him. Therefore, we have not only the power but also the authority over all things. (To Serve in the Human Spirit, p. 39)#HWMRWEEK4DAY5
