A Body You Have Prepared - Hebrews 10:5-7

Hebrews 10:5-7 ESV 

Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said,

“Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,

but a body have you prepared for me;

in burnt offerings and sin offerings

you have taken no pleasure.

Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God,

as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’”

Christ came into the world to do the will of God and to show us the way. A written record in the scroll of the book does just that. It speaks of a first and a second coming. The first was accomplished and the second remains in the days ahead. 

We too have been given a body that we might do His will. We join our body of flesh with the body of Christ. He takes our flesh and combines it with His Spirit. We share life as prophesied in the union of Adam and Eve. 

We become His "suitable companion" as we help bring His light to the world.
