"Lord, no one wants to know," said I,"Your holy will'’s ignored; The worldly crowd keeps passing by,They spurn your rich reward."I went up on the hill to pout,With tears that burned my eyes; My failure led me then to doubtThat God was good and wise.
"My son, you're planting seeds," said He,
"The harvest lies ahead; Don't trust what you alone can see,My word must still be spread.” So down I went with faithful sight,To speak and persevere; The Lord of all the earth is right, And he will make it clear.For I may plant, another plow, A third may reap the field; But joy to all whose sweaty browToiled in the harvest yield.

who is thebeginning, the firstbornfrom the dead; that in allthings he mighthave the preeminence(Colossians 1:18).
Please note: “HE”, “body”,“Church” — these threewords are
singular.
Thereis
ONE SAVIOUR.
He has
ONE BODY,
which is
THE CHURCH.
Man — not God — hascreated the monstrosity of thou-sands of churches, with thousands of names and practices and doctrines.Such a picture as is shown below, with the head — Jesus — and many different bodies — appears
blasphemousto our eyes. How does itlook to God whenhumans have createdtheir own churchesand doctrinesand ways of salvation,and thenhavetried toattachthem toChrist?
