What does Body mean?
In Greek mythology, the word ‘Body’ refers to the physical form of an individual. However, in a Christian context, ‘Body’ is more than just a physical form. It is the temple of the Holy Spirit, a vessel for God's love and grace. As the Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 6:19–20: ‘Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.’
