Some resources for reflection on Sunday. These are all true:
- He is the Potter, I am the clay. (Jer. 18:6; Rom. 9:21)
- He is the Shepherd, we are the sheep. (Ezek. 34:12; Heb. 13:20-21)
- He is my Master, I am his servant. (Ps. 123:2; John 13:16)
- He is my Friend, and Brother. I am his brother, or sister, or mother. (John 15:15; cf. Jer. 3:4; Matt. 12:50; 25:40)
- He is the Bridegroom, we are the bride. (Isa. 54:5-6; Rev. 19:6-8)
- He is my Father, I am his child. (Ps. 103:13; Gal. 4:6-7)

This brings to mind Dr. John Patrick's Meaning, Metaphor and Allusion: Christian Imagination in a Visual Culture
Test your imagination. Do these passages call to mind their Biblical context for you?
Thank you.
Good stuff.
I also thought of Christ as the head and we are one body.
