Savior of the body

by David Long

"For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body" (Eph. 5:23). Jesus is the savior of the body. What body? "And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all" (Eph. 1:22-23). Jesus is the savior of the church, His body. If you want to be saved you must be a member of His body (Acts 2:47).
