Default Re: Christ is the Body, "the Body-Christ"

I read something today in a T. Austin Sparks writing and was reminded of this thread. In contrasting the old covenant of shadows and pictures with the new covenant of the substance and reality, Sparks said, "Christ is everything . . . He is the Church."

Previously in this thread, we had some good/lively discussion (weren't those were the "good ol' days"!?) about who is the head (pretty obvious) and who is the body (a "great mystery"), so to say "Christ is the Church" may be a little much for some . . .

If anyone is interested, I can post the entire page from Sparks so you can see his context.
