Favorite Bible Verse: “Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.” – Eph. 4: 15-1

Inspiration Behind the Verse: I love the comparison of the church to the human body, with each part contributing to the whole. We are His hands and feet, supporting and encouraging each other while striving toward Kingdom living. I also encourage my students to think about the anatomy of the crucifixion experience – what did his physical body experience? To understand Christ’s suffering gives us even more appreciation for what he did for us.
