Over the last several weeks, I have been spending a fair amount of time understand better what the “Body of Christ” means.

I started by searching for tweets on “Body of Christ”  https://twitter.com/IAMFollowerTodd where there is a wealth of extremely thoughtful reflections on what the “Body of Christ” can mean to you and me.

Here are some of my favorite tweets:
