126 "THIS MEANS EVERLASTING LIFE"
keep on seeking first God's kingdom and his righteousness
.-Matthew 6 :33 .
4 Jehovah the great Theocrat made his obedient
Son Jesus Christ the Head member of the new
Theocratic organization . "He also subjected all
things under his feet, and made him head over
all things to the congregation, which is his body ."
Ephesians 1 :22, 23, NW When he likens those
of the congregation under Jesus the Head to a human
body, it shows that the true congregation
must be organized Theocratically, for God's creation
of the perfect human body is a marvelous organization,
with many parts, all performing their
special functions and yet all knit together in one
harmonious whole. When a justified believer is
baptized into the "body of Christ" and so becomes
a member of the Theocratic organization, he
comes under C h r i s t Jesus the H e a d and so
comes under certain responsibilities and cannot
act independently of the one whom God has made
Head of the organization to direct it. He must
submit himself to organization instructions, "holding
fast to the head, to the one from whom all
the body, being supplied and harmoniously joined
together by means of its joints and ligaments,
goes on growing with the growth which God
gives."-Colossians 2 :19, NW.
5 Now as the perfect human body of Jesus had
just so many members to make it complete, no
more, no less, so the complete "body of Christ",
4 . Who was made its Head? How does a member act
Theocratically?
5 . How was the number of its members foretold and
disclosed?
